Graduate Recruitment

At Northern Foods we value the expertise, fresh insights and enthusiasm that graduates bring to our business.

As a graduate looking to step in to a career in the food industry, you will be aware of the size and scope of opportunities available in Northern Foods. There are two routes to joining us: by applying directly to a role at one of our sites or by joining the Northern Foods Graduate Scheme.

The Northern Foods Graduate Scheme enables you to create a solid foundation on which to build a successful long-term career in core functions, take charge of your career, experience real responsibility and achieve the results that you desire.

The scheme is made up of three key elements:

  • A role or placement at one of our 21 sites enables you to have real responsibility from the start and allowing you to deliver value from the outset into our business
  • A two year core development programme designed to support your personal development with modules including Personal Impact and High Impact Presentations
  • Key professional development to support and develop your professional skills, for example, CIMA, Chartered Engineer status

We have high expectations of our graduates and understand the need for strong support to enable you to flourish. As a graduate you will be supported by your line manager, a development sponsor and a graduate 'buddy'.

The Graduate Scheme intake is September annually and we typically recruit into the following functions:

  • Operations
  • Technical
  • Engineering
  • Finance
  • Commercial

The recruitment process runs across eight to ten weeks per function throughout the winter and spring months. Roles are posted on our vacancy board as they become live.
