Graduate trainees

Not just for professional qualification but with a three tier Management Development programme, internal training, technical updates and skills training. Coupled with support from managers and colleagues to provide the development you need to take your career forward with us.

Generous pension contributions.

Our agile working policy provides flexibility to enable people to manage their work-life balance as best they can. This might mean part time hours, a temporary flexing of working hours or working from home where appropriate. We aim to support this wherever possible.

We provide everyone at BHP with access to the Westfield Healthcare Cash Plan which provides cash back towards the costs of dental, eye care and other health services. It also brings a counselling and support service and GP advice line for when you need advice or support.

We want people to feel comfortable at work. Whilst there is a requirement to wear business dress when with clients, on office days we expect people to wear what they want (within reason).

We encourage our people to make a positive contribution to the communities we live and work in. As well as the numerous fundraising activities we get involved in, everyone has the opportunity to take a paid day to carry out voluntary work for any charitable organisation they want to assist.

We believe that communication is as important between colleagues as it is with clients and at BHP, all people, whatever their role in the Firm, have the opportunity to have a say in the key issues that affect them. The “open door” policy is not just a saying at BHP, it is a way of working. Partners and other senior managers will make themselves available to listen to the ideas and concerns of staff at all levels within the firm. We carry out a staff survey on an annual basis and this has enabled us to pinpoint areas where we can improve many facets of the firm from working conditions to improvements in client services or the systems and processes we use.

BHP is a Great Place to Work Certified Organisation.
