This programme has been designed to support people who have had a career break or are trying to transfer their skills in to a new sector or one they used to work in. We know that any gap in work experience or a move away from a sector or skill set makes it very hard to return or join through standard recruitment channels.

The roles in this programme tend to run on a 12 week placement with a view to securing a permanent role at the end of that period.

Although it’s not guaranteed, 96% of our candidates who join the programme go on to secure permanent roles with their host organisation.

As a candidate working with STEM Returners you have access to free CV writing and Interview coaching, and if you are successful in securing the role you’ll get access to coaching and mentoring programme to help you thrive in the role.

Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK without requiring employer sponsorship, as visa sponsorship is not available through these programmes. We warmly welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and value the diverse skills, experiences and perspectives returners bring.
