Kent Graduate Programme

Are you looking to kick-start your career in the public sector? Made in Kent

Whether it’s social care, education, transport or strategic planning, our focus is on improving lives. We want to ensure every pound spent in the county delivers better outcomes for our residents, communities and businesses. If you have a 2:2 degree or equivalent, join our fast-track graduate programme and be part of it. We’ll help you achieve your ambitions as you help us achieve ours.

Our graduate roles typically last for 2 to 3 years and are underpinned by an apprenticeship programme so you will learn and gain in depth knowledge of your chosen profession on-the-job.

We are a flexible employer and offer hybrid working with opportunities to work flexibly from home and from one of our offices in Kent. Read more about the many benefits of working for us.
