Barratt Developments

Our vision is to lead the future of housebuilding by putting customers at the heart of everything we do. It’s our people that will make it happen. We have four priorities to help us get there:

Putting customers first.

Whether it’s home buyers or colleagues across the business, you’ll always be put in the best possible position to do everything you can to make sure customers get what they need from us.

Great places.

We want to build homes that people are proud to live. That’s why we always give you the support, resources and opportunities to do work that you’re proud of.

Leading construction.

To deliver high-quality homes every time, we will always invest in the latest technology and enable our people to use innovative methods to continue to improve how we work.

Investing in our people.

We will only achieve our ambitious vision if we keep the best people working here. That means we will always prioritise your development and invest in training and opportunities so you can keep learning throughout your career.

It takes a community to build a community

A diverse team is a strong team. The combination of a range of perspectives, opinions and backgrounds leads to better decision making, better services for our customers and a better business. That’s why we’re committed to diversity and inclusion. We have a culture where people enjoy coming to work, where everyone is encouraged to be themselves and where everyone is developed to their full potential.

We’re invested in progressive initiatives

We know that actions are what really counts. And we know there’s always room for improvement. So we’re taking proactive steps towards a more inclusive culture. Our initiatives include leadership training on unconscious bias, supporting future female leaders, encouraging flexible working, introducing family friendly policies and sponsoring PRIDE events, to name a few.

Be a future leader

There has never been a better time to get into the house building industry. We’re training the next generation to lead the industry into the future and build homes to meet a nation-wide shortage. Whether you’re a school leaver, undergraduate or graduate, we’ll train you up with hands-on learning and ongoing managerial support. We’re invested in your training because we believe you are the future of our business. Our organisation is built on people who started out on one of our early careers training programmes. In fact, our Operations Director, Commercial Director and Chief Operating Officer all built their careers out of these programmes.

Wherever you are in your career, we have an opportunity for you in one of the most exciting industries in Britain. 

Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship is a great first step into our growing industry. Our apprenticeships are award-winning, combining hands-on work with professional training, senior mentoring and industry qualifications. They’re also a great alternative to further full-time study, giving you the skills you need to build a career while you earn money.

Undergraduates

We offer paid placements to undergraduate students looking to put their knowledge into practice on real projects in the workplace. We offer Built Environment, Finance, Sales & Marketing or HR placements to penultimate year undergraduates. Over 12 months, you’ll rotate through every department to gain a range of skills and thoroughly understand how a FTSE-100 company works. We also offer shorter, summer placements. If you do well, we’ll invite you onto either our fast track graduate programme or a permanent role.

Your skills are in high demand

If you’re ex-Armed Forces, not only do we welcome you, we actively look for and want the skills and experience you bring. For many, housebuilding is the next natural step after an Army career. Your drive and leadership skills are ideally suited to construction and we provide extensive training to cover the rest. Housebuilding is also the next sensible step. As the nation-wide demand for houses increases, we’re building homes to meet that demand so you’ll develop industry skills that are highly sought after. And, as the leading housebuilder in Britain, Barratt is the clear choice for your next career move.

Stay ahead with the latest training and technology

We prioritise your training and development, giving you access to the latest techniques and technology to stay at the forefront of our industry. We offer two programmes that are most suitable to people with an Armed Forces background. However, if neither is the exact fit, then take a look around our website for more options.

“After 22 years in the Army it was incredibly daunting looking for a new direction to take. Barratt Developments have made my transition absolutely seamless. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming and I feel more at home than I could have ever imagined. They have provided exemplary training and I can’t thank them enough.”

Scott Dyer, Trainee Assistant Site Manager, qualified in PRINCE2 & APMP
