Alder King: does its graduate development programme sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Alder King publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate development programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Alder King is a property consultancy and chartered surveying firm with offices in Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Gloucester, Swindon, Taunton and Truro, covering surveying and planning. Its Graduate Development Programme is unusual in this sector for being rolling: applications are accepted at any time, there are no fixed deadlines and no fixed programme start dates, and each application is assessed for how and where the candidate might fit before the right people are brought in to progress it. Applying means sending a CV and a covering email setting out areas of interest and ambitions, and every applicant is sent a confirmation of receipt setting out the next steps and their timing. Joiners get a Structured Training Agreement with regular reviews from a Supervising Officer and Counsellor, plus graduate mentoring and review aimed at passing the APC first time. There is no formalised rotation, but graduates are given exposure to a variety of specialist areas. The published package is specific: competitive salary reviewed every six months, bonus scheme, generous pension, financial assistance with external APC training, the APC enrolment fee, study leave, RICS or RTPI registration and annual subscription plus other relevant professional subscriptions, and 33 days of annual holiday including bank holidays. Nothing on the careers or graduate pages addresses sponsorship, visas or right to work.
