Job description

Start your journey with purpose, passion, and people who care.

At Abbott, we believe in more than just careers — we believe in calling. For over 135 years, we’ve been helping people live fuller, healthier lives. And we know that starts with our own people. When you join us, you’re not just stepping into a role — you’re stepping into a global community that’s driven by innovation, compassion, and a shared mission to improve lives.

Our Witney site is a Centre of Excellence for Abbott Diabetes Care — home to the cutting-edge development and manufacture of our FreeStyle Libre systems. These life-changing technologies are transforming how people manage diabetes, and you could be part of the team behind them.

We’re excited to invite applications for our Graduate Development Programme, starting September 2025. This is more than a graduate scheme — it’s a launchpad for your future. Your journey will give you exposure to multiple essential functions including Technical, Operations Planning, Quality Assurance, Project Management, and Engineering. You’ll get valuable hands-on experience in our advanced Manufacturing Site and may even take on a managerial rotation to build your leadership skills.

What makes our programme stand out? The people. From day one, you’ll be supported by a buddy, a mentor, and a coach — real humans who care about your growth. You’ll be part of a close-knit graduate cohort, learning together, sharing ideas, and making a real impact. Our interview process is designed to be personal, engaging, and reflective of the collaborative culture you’ll experience here every day.

We’re looking for Science, Technology, or Engineering graduates (2:1 or above) who are curious, driven, and ready to shape the future of healthcare. We are looking for people who are available to join us in September. In return, we offer a competitive benefits package, including pension, private healthcare, share ownership, and a flexible benefits scheme. Plus, you’ll have access to wellbeing initiatives like yoga, sustainability campaigns, and even a couch-to-5k challenge — because we believe in living life to the fullest, inside and outside of work.

Ready to make a difference? Let’s build something extraordinary — together.
