Procter & Gamble UK, from its own careers pages
The catch: You still need a right to work in the UK on day one, for example a Graduate visa; P&G sponsors from the end of that permission rather than from the start. P&G's Sales Graduate Role and other commercial roles take the opposite line and require a continuous right to work without sponsorship. The advert may close early if positions are filled.
