If you’re considering a career in nutrition, a placement with the world’s biggest food and beverage manufacturer is a great place to start.
Applications are now open to people from all walks of life to come join an inclusive learning programme that’s all about showing you just what you’re capable of. You’ll be encouraged to develop your strengths and contribute to the team in your own individual way. After all, it’s different personalities coming together in collaboration that makes us the innovative company we are.
Our twelve-month placement here in Gatwick will give you the skills and experience needed to launch a nutrition career that really matters.
What the Nutrition Placement entails
Don’t think for a second that this is ‘just a placement’. Your work here will matter and have a real impact on our business.
You’ll rotate through different functions within Nestlé and collaborate with teams across our organisation—nutrition, health and wellness are central to everything we do, after all. That’s a whole lot of diverse expertise you’ll have nurturing your abilities.
Conducting market research and recipe analysis, you’ll also play a key role in the development of new Nestlé products. You’ll build confidence by seeing how your work has a real impact on the final product that ends up on the shelves.
Who is eligible for the Nutrition Placement?
The placement is for students in the second-to-last year (or in year three for Scottish students) of an Association for Nutrition Accredited Undergraduate Degree Programme. For a full list of eligible courses and universities, click here.
We’re looking for people who take nutrition seriously. At a company like ours, even small improvements in the nutritional content of our products can make a big difference. For you that presents a huge opportunity that you’ll want to make the most of—and you’ll have the mental agility to do just that.
What will I get out of a Nestlé Placement?
This is a chance to work with Nestlé products like KitKat, Smarties, Nescafé, Maggi and San Pellegrino—brands that people know and love. During your time here, you’ll help make them what they are. It’s a reason to feel great about the career path you’ve taken.
Contributing to our ‘Force for Good’ initiative will only add to that feeling. It’s all about Creating Shared Value (CSV) by aligning our commercial goals with important social responsibilities like healthier eating. In Nutrition, you couldn’t really be more central to that. Complete a nutrition placement with us and you won’t just realise your own potential to develop a great career—you’ll see how the work you’re so passionate about can benefit the wider world.
