Job Description:
Looking for a fast-track route into leadership and management? The MDS graduate scheme offers driven graduates the opportunity to step straight into real-world roles across the food, fresh produce, agriculture and horticulture sectors. From day one, you’ll receive structured training, a full salary and expert guidance from our team, empowering you to take charge of your success.
Over two years, you’ll work in up to four secondments (each lasting 6-12 months) within some of the UK’s leading food and agriculture businesses - our Members. These secondments will give you hands-on experience across a variety of disciplines; you might find yourself coordinating a harvest with a major grower in one secondment, and then leading a business-critical project with a national retailer in the next.
Wherever you go, you’ll be making a real impact - our Trainees are known for delivering results and driving innovation.
Experience And Qualifications:
We typically look for a 2:1 or above, if you have strong industry experience, we would still like to hear from you.
Leadership potential - the ability to inspire others, take initiative, and make things happen
Resilience and motivation - a strong work ethic and a drive to succeed
Adaptability - the confidence to relocate and thrive in new roles and environments every 6 months
A practical mindset - the ability to solve problems and work independently
Passion for the food/agriculture industry - enthusiasm for making a difference in a fast-moving, vital sector
Have the right to work in the UK by the time the programme starts, and for duration of the programme (2 yrs)
Able to relocate across the UK (and potentially overseas, though this is optional) for each secondment
Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own vehicle by the time you start the programme, as many secondments are in rural areas where public transport is not a viable option
