Premier Foods: does its graduate schemes 2027 sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate Schemes 2027 (Commercial, Marketing, Procurement, Finance, Manufacturing Operations and Supply Chain, IT)

Unconfirmed. Premier Foods publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate schemes 2027, so we cannot state a firm answer. Premier Foods runs six two year rotational graduate schemes across Commercial, Marketing, Procurement, Finance, Manufacturing Operations and Supply Chain, and IT. The published package is a £30,000 starting salary plus benefits, a two week induction blending office, remote and on site experience, rotational placements, professional qualifications and a CEO project. The minimum requirements line is short and explicit: right to work in the UK, a relevant degree and a passion for FMCG. A UK driving licence is additionally required for the Commercial and the Manufacturing Operations and Supply Chain schemes. Nothing on the page offers visa sponsorship, so an international candidate without existing right to work is outside the stated minimum.

Premier Foods, from its own careers pages

The catch: Right to work is listed as a minimum requirement, but the page never says whether Premier Foods will sponsor to provide it, so treat the answer as unknown and ask them. The scheme is badged for 2027 while the page only says applications open soon, with no date. Two of the six streams also require a UK driving licence.
