Your Rewards

How can we heat homes without warming the planet?


New graduates will receive a starting salary of £21k from day one, with an annual review in July each year. You can also apply to receive financial support to help you gain relevant professional qualifications.

Because we value the contribution that our people make to our success, we also offer a good benefits package designed to reward individuals in ways that go beyond a salary. All employees receive the following benefits:
  • All employees and their familes are entitled to an employee discount when purchasing a new Barratt home or part-exchange property.
  • We offer Money Purchase and Stakeholder Pension options
  • Our employee awards are all about recognising your achievements. There are currently over £500,000 worth of cash prizes and fabulous holidays to be won. There are prizes for Sales Advisors, Development Teams, Apprentices, Site Managers and a category for other employees. There will also be a new category especially for our graduates…
One of the biggest investments we make is in your training and development. Every individual has the support of a successful, growing company behind them. So you can rest assured you will receive everything you need to grow professionally and enjoy the right sort of work-life balance.


Training & Development


This programme isn’t simply about gaining technical knowledge or learning how to do a job. It is about developing the skills to become a truly versatile, adaptable business and people manager. You will gain relevant technical skills and face practical operational challenges. At the same time, however, you will also develop softer skills such as networking, teamworking, relationship building, creative problem solving, influencing and persuading, as well as managing change.

There are also lots of opportunities to engage with others throughout the organisation. You can gain informal feedback from your Business Sponsor, advice from your mentor and there are also Quarterly Review meetings with presentations, external speakers and discussions. You will also have the opportunity to learn about our support functions, such as Health and Safety, IT and HR. It all helps to support you in achieving your Personal Development Plan, making the most of your opportunities to successfully complete your programme.

This is a structured programme with clear milestones built into your Personal Development Plan. So each step of the way, you will be able to see exactly how far you’ve come and exactly what else you need to achieve in the future.


Career progression


Our Graduate Development Programme is new, but our commitment to developing our people is long-standing. We have a history of recruiting and promoting some of the most talented people within the construction industry. In fact, it is not unusual for people to spend their entire careers with us, because we can offer them diverse career paths, plenty of opportunities and all the support they need to progress.

As a graduate, you will be no different. When you’ve completed your two-year programme, you will join your chosen department and begin your first role. This is an opportunity to put your skills and knowledge into practice in an operational environment. You could be managing a site or a sales team, getting involved in a land acquisition project or a new design initiative. But in every case, you will be learning fast, making decisions and making a real impact on our success.

Throughout your professional life at Barratt, the learning continues at pace. Whatever sort of training you need to progress your career – it could be studying for a formal qualification, gaining experience in a different role or moving across divisions – we’ll support you.
