Bidwells: does its graduate programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate Programme

Unconfirmed. Bidwells publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Bidwells is a real estate partnership recruiting graduates into Rural, Commercial, Residential, Planning, Built Environment and Climate pathways. Entry is a BSc at 2:1 or above, and the firm accepts non cognate degrees such as geography, English or maths as well as RICS or RTPI accredited ones, provided you show understanding of the pathway. Selection runs from an online application with CV and cover letter, to a 30 minute online aptitude test, to a recorded Teams interview with the early careers team where every candidate gets the same questions, to an assessment centre usually held in December or January, to a phone offer. The second half of the graduate development programme focuses on the APC, with parallel RICS and RTPI programmes, seminars, practice interviews and coaching led by in house APC assessors. Graduate benefits include agile working, private medical cover, up to 8 per cent matched pension, enhanced holiday and a group staff bonus that can add up to four weeks of pay depending on company performance.

The catch: Bidwells will not accept late applications or emailed CVs, and advises applying to only one pathway because multiple applications read as a lack of focus.
