Successful applicants will join a structured programme available across key UK regions, including Lincolnshire, London and Scotland. Applications are open now and close in June for a September 2025 start.

Berry Recruitment has rebranded its internal recruitment division to the professional services division, following the growth of its app. The recruiter says the change comes following rapid growth of its department that now has a team of over 20 recruiters. The app has enabled the division to expand its reach across Great Britain and Northern Ireland, recruiting high-volume staff for a wide range of roles in both the public and private sectors.
