Please note. This is a degree level apprenticeship suitable for school-leavers.

In addition, accommodation and travel requirements to be based at our Reading site need to be considered and arranged by successful applicants.

This is a 4-year programme with an employment start date in September 2026 with degree study starting in October 2026.

15th March, 2026 – Apply soon to secure your chance, as positions could be filled before the deadline. We may close early if all roles are filled.

For our apprenticeship roles, you will need to provide your own right to work in the UK for the full duration of your apprenticeship without requiring sponsorship from P&G. Note, this will require your right to work permission to be valid for the full duration of the apprenticeship for a minimum of 37.5 per week.

P&G is legally required to ensure all candidates have the right to work in the UK from Day 1 of their employment. All applicants will therefore be asked to provide evidence of their right to work at the conclusion of the recruitment process as a condition of employment.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. At P&G we strive to build a culture where everyone feels welcome, included, and able to bring their full selves to work. We champion social mobility and believe socio-economic status should not be a barrier to accessing job opportunities. That’s why in addition to this apprenticeship being paid, we offer provision of all the necessary technology and electronic equipment, access to a range of benefits, and financial support if you need it. We ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process.
