Returner Programme

The ScottishPower Returner Programme provides candidates who have taken a career break of 12 months, or candidates who have retrained for a career change in STEM, with opportunities to re-enter the STEM industry. With a growing skills shortage, supporting people back into STEM is really important. 

ScottishPower is part of the Iberdrola Group, a global energy company and a world leader in wind energy. We are securing affordable and clean energy, modernising networks to improve quality of service and increasing customer choice through digital enhancements to put our customers in control of their energy usage.

At ScottishPower, we work to attract diverse talent while developing a workplace that is supportive and open to everyone and we are very proud to support young people across the UK as they take their first steps into the world of work. The programme helps people refresh their existing skills and knowledge while building their confidence in a working environment through a structured pathway.

• A paid placement for 9-12 months, starting salary of £32,500 plus benefits (There is also an uplift if working in the London office £35,570)
