Start your career with Three.
At Three we’ve been shaking things up since 2003 and we’re still boldly going where no network has gone before. We put our core network in the cloud, we’re building the UK’s fastest 5G and we’re always looking for new ways to innovate with cool and cutting-edge technology. It’s all about giving better connectivity, every day, for every customer. It’s why we exist.
We love fresh thinking and new ideas here. Our 2 year Graduate Scheme lets you shine and get creative, tackling real-life business challenges with your grad community, while supporting you to learn and grow as you develop your skills and knowledge through rotations in the area of our business that excites you most. You’ll even get international exposure to our sister company in Ireland and meet our CEO, Robert, who leads both businesses.
Excited yet? There’s more! Our grads join us on a 2 year Fixed Term Contract starting in September 2023 and:
- Earn a competitive salary plus benefits
- Are rewarded for great performance with a potential annual 5% bonus
- Get more paid holidays than you can shake a stick at: 28 days + 8 public holidays + 3 personal days. You can buy more (hey jetsetter) or sell up to 5 days back to us for cash.
- Choose from a new phone or handset allowance with a paid unlimited plan
- Enjoy flexibility with our hybrid virtual/office working approach. Work from home for part of the week, then come together with your peers to collaborate in our amazing brand-new office in Green Park, Reading.
- You'll also work virtually or in some cases face to face with colleagues working from our Office based in Glasgow.
Job Context
At Three, People & Property covers all the things you might think of as HR and more. Over our 2- year programme you’ll be immersed in different parts of the People Team through your rotations. You’ll help our talented teams to design, deliver and continuously improve our people experiences and initiatives.
Our team encompasses business partnering and engagement, learning & development, people propositions, employee relations, talent acquisition, people services (employee queries and support), workspace and people systems & reporting.
As a grad you’ll help us to allow you to thrive; encourage learning and development; champion a diverse culture; plan for the future of our business and help hire and retain our people.
We’re led by Mark Redmond, our Chief People Officer for Three UK and Three Ireland. Some of the teams you’ll work in are cross-company, serving the UK & Ireland. Many of our UK People Teams work closely with our colleagues in Dublin and there’s lots of exciting opportunities to collaborate across both businesses. Learn about our overall business and develop rounded skills for your career at Three and beyond.
You’ll be supported in each of your rotations to gain hands on knowledge and experience of the team and overall function. You’ll have lots of opportunities to put your skills and learning into practice supporting key activities. As a Three Graduate you’ll regularly get together with the wider graduate community for development and problem-solving real-life business challenges.
Responsibilities
We’re looking for people with passion, energy and a get-stuck-in attitude. You’ll be proactive with a curious mindset, always looking to learn and improve – and teach us a thing or two with your fresh thinking.
Three is a dynamic and fast-paced place to work, so being able to balance lots of different – and sometimes shifting – priorities is a skill you’ll have nailed.
You’ll be working collaboratively with other teams and partners, allowing your confidence building relationships and fantastic communication skills to really shine.
Experience
Open to anyone who is graduating in 2023, or who graduated 2020-2022, and who has a real passion for all things People. We don’t ask for a minimum degree class.
