Returners programme - Management and Knowledge Consultants

Application Deadline: 30th July 2021

The Atkins Returners Programme is back for 2021

At Atkins we celebrate diversity and have created an environment in which our people, drawn from a range of backgrounds and expertise, are able to achieve high standards of integrity and ethics in the workplace.  As part of this diversity, we are currently recruiting talented candidates through our Returners Programme, aimed at experienced professionals with a track record of delivery as Management Consultants or Knowledge Management Consultants who now wish to return to work after an extended career break of typically 2 years more, who are either economically inactive or now working in lower paid, temporary or part-time roles.  Our 6-month Returners programme will help you to ease back into work in a safe and structured manner and help you to rebuild your professional Management Consultant or Knowledge Management career from relevant previous expertise and experiences. 

Atkins develops individuals through a portfolio of training and development courses that are designed to help you make the best of your abilities and talent, so rather than provide a conventionally structured, one-size-fits-all approach to relaunch your career, you will be given the opportunity to gain support from coaching, your line manager, project or subject mentor, to participate in training courses in accordance with your  development plan and to build your expertise whilst working projects within our client-embedded teams.

Why Atkins?

With us you are leading transformation. You might know us for the great work we do across our wide variety of projects. We're proud to say it's thanks to our people's diversity of thought, expertise and knowledge. And when you join us, you'll be a part of this genuinely collaborative environment, where everyone's voice is valued and treated equally.

We're passionate about what we do, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Simply put, this a great place to be. So, when it comes to your life outside of work, ask us about our flexible and remote working policies designed to help you get the most out of life.  Flexible and remote working is a central part of our culture. So talk to us about what's ideal for you – from reduced weeks to buying more leave over school holidays.
