Job description

Our Graduate Real Estate Pathway is the perfect place for aspiring Land Managers, Development Managers & Planning Managers, or anyone with a natural interest in Land Acquisition, Planning Policies, or Project Management. This pathway is tailored to expose you to key areas of the business that will develop you into a solid all‑rounder within the Real Estate field. It includes rotations within the following areas, with learning objectives designed to equip you with all the knowledge you need:

• Land & Partnerships
• Technical
• Commercial
• Development
• Regional Finance
• Construction
• Development & Land

Based in our Milton Keynes office from September 2026, you’ll rotate through all these areas over your 18‑month programme, starting and finishing within the Land & Partnerships or Development department. During your final rotation, transition talks are held with potential opportunities to join the Land, Partnerships or Development teams once all rotations have been completed, taking the next step onto the Real Estate career path.

Due to high interest, we may close applications earlier than expected. If this role appeals to you, we recommend submitting your application at your earliest convenience.

What’s in it for you

• Competitive basic salary and annual bonus
• Car allowance or company car
• Up to 34 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to up to 39 days with service
• 2 volunteering days per annum
• Private medical insurance, with employee‑paid cover
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave
• Competitive pension scheme through salary sacrifice
• Life assurance at 4× your annual salary
• Share‑save and share incentive schemes
• Employee rewards portal with many more benefits

What we would like from you

All we ask is that you have a relevant degree at 2:2 or above. Due to the nature of the position, some travel is required, so you must hold a valid driver’s licence. We recruit for potential, looking for passionate, talented and committed people. We invest heavily in future talent and want to see you succeed, so we have created a success profile to help you determine if Vistry Group is the right fit.
