Unilever graduate roles: what they involve

The five listed opportunities are 12-month industrial placements for undergraduates completing a year in industry. They cover sustainability, communications and corporate affairs, human resources, and non-technical supply chain work. The descriptions emphasise real responsibility from the first day, exposure to practical challenges, fresh ideas, one-to-one mentoring and support for personal and professional development.

The communications and corporate affairs placement mentions executive communications, reputation management, policy engagement, stakeholder advocacy, research and digital content. It also specifies hybrid working and London or Kingston office options. The roles suit students seeking structured experience during their degree, particularly those interested in the function named in the title and able to contribute as high-performing undergraduates.

How to apply to Unilever's graduate scheme

The role descriptions provided do not set out Unilever's application stages. Check Unilever's careers site and the live advert for the current process, eligibility details, documents and any assessments. Do not rely on an older advert, particularly where a role description contains programme or working-location information that may change.

As a typical UK application process, you may be asked to submit an online application and CV, answer questions about your experience and motivation, and complete screening or assessment exercises. Shortlisted applicants may then have an interview or further assessment. Prepare examples showing teamwork, problem solving, communication and interest in the relevant placement area.

Unilever visa sponsorship and its licence

Unilever appears on the sponsor register with a Worker A rating. The listed routes are Global Business Mobility: Graduate Trainee, Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker. The register entry is associated with Leatherhead, while the open roles shown here are across London, Wirral, Sherborne and Burton-on-Trent.

Holding a sponsor licence does not mean that every graduate, placement or other vacancy is sponsored. Whether a particular role can support an application depends on the advert and Unilever's confirmation. Check the role wording and ask the employer before applying, then use GOV.UK for the current immigration rules, eligibility requirements and application guidance.

How to read this page

A sponsor licence means the employer is allowed to sponsor visas. It does not mean every role it advertises will be sponsored. Check the advert, and the salary rules for the Skilled Worker visa on GOV.UK, before you apply.
