Biffa: does its graduate schemes in finance, procurement, operations sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate schemes in finance, procurement, operations and commercial, plus driver, HGV technician, laboratory, IT and engineering apprenticeships

Unconfirmed. Biffa publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate schemes in finance, procurement, operations, so we cannot state a firm answer. Biffa is one of the largest UK waste and recycling operators, and its early careers page splits into four named graduate schemes rather than one generic rotation. The finance scheme covers tax compliance and fixed asset reconciliation while the graduate completes CIMA. Procurement covers supplier management, tenders and contract negotiation. The municipal operations scheme is about delivering local authority contracts on the ground, and the commercial scheme supports local authority contract bids and service development. Underneath that sits a wide apprenticeship range that reflects the operational business: driver and HGV technician apprenticeships, laboratory technician, IT, customer service and sales, engineering, and degree apprenticeships. Biffa publishes no application window and no salary for any of them, and nothing on the early careers page addresses visa sponsorship. Vacancies appear on a Workable board that carried 138 live roles at the last crawl.

“First class training from dedicated teams”

Biffa, from its own careers pages

The catch: Biffa publishes no cohort dates at all. The schemes are visible on the early careers page year round but only exist as applications when a role is posted on the Workable board, so the board is the thing to watch rather than the careers page.
