Want to work with world-class consultants?

At Scott Logic, we take the development of our graduates seriously. We want you to grow in confidence, skills and impact so that your career in software gets off to the very best start. About 40% of the Scott Logic community joined us as graduates, and many of our grads have moved on to senior positions within the organisation.

You can find out below all about our Graduate Programme, including all the benefits and opportunities it offers, how the application process works, and the experiences of previous graduates.

Recent enhancements to our programme

Certification opportunities

Once you discover what you’re passionate about, we’ll support you to develop in those areas through two certifications, one after 18 months and the other after 2.5 years.

Co-located training days

We’ll bring you and your fellow grads together once or twice a year for training days, and so that you can socialise and build your network.

Associate role

After six months with us, you’ll advance from Graduate to Associate, reflecting a milestone on your graduate journey with us as you progress through further training and support towards a consultant role.

Regular pay reviews

We see graduates make great and rapid progress in the time after joining us, and so for the first 18 months of your time at Scott Logic, we will review your pay every six months.

Developer, Newcastle

"One of the many reasons I see myself staying at Scott Logic is the open and collaborative culture where everyone supports one another. It means we never end up feeling like we’re working in morale-draining silos, cut off from one another."

Charles Freestone

Charles

Test Engineer, Bristol

“I was thrilled to be hired and was enrolled on the Graduate Programme... The great thing was all the graduates were located in the same open area of the office, so you could get feedback from someone who was coming to the end of the scheme or reach out for help from employees.”

Graham Odds

Graham

Chief Strategy Officer, Edinburgh

“I’ve always wanted to be part of an organisation that actively encourages you to explore new territories. The fact that I’ve now been at Scott Logic for 15 years is testimony to the fact that the company lets you do just that. You really can’t ask for more from a job.”
