As part of the two-year ASPIRE Graduate Development Programme - Group Finance, we're looking for the right combination of people to help take our business forward. With a minimum of a 2:2 degree, our graduates are people focused, ambitious and driven individuals who really want to develop into a leadership role.

Client Details

Barratt Developments has been nationally recognised as a 5 star housebuilder fourteen years in a row for supplying high-quality homes for all generations. That's more than any other major housebuilder. It's because we combine the brightest minds, the latest technology, and a genuine commitment to putting customers first. We want the best people in the industry to help us shape the future of building. We have tailored opportunities for apprentices, graduates, experienced professionals and ex-Armed Forces personnel to come and help us stay one step ahead, and build the homes that Britain needs.

Description

They will also benefit from opportunities to undertake a Million Makers project, the option to study for a relevant risk or audit professional qualification and will undertake a series of development modules including leadership, communication, project management, presentations and performance management.

In both years of the programme, our graduate will spend time with the Risk, Control and Internal Audit Team, enabling them to gain an in-depth knowledge of risk management processes, internal control frameworks and planning and performing internal audits for a range of divisional and group functions. In addition to this, they will have the opportunity to participate in continuous monitoring activities, and tracking the progress of management actions arising from audit observations with a view to driving continuous improvement across the organisation. Successful graduates will also contribute to business change projects to ensure the processes followed lead to successful organisational outcomes.
