Careers Service Graduate Internships
This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
Have you recently graduated from the University of Leeds in 2025, or are you due to graduate in summer 2026 and looking for a 12-month internship? Are you interested in supporting students and graduates to achieve positive career outcomes after university? Do you have strong verbal and written communication skills, along with a desire to help University of Leeds students and graduates succeed?
The University of Leeds Careers Service is recruiting four motivated and organised interns for full-time, 12-month internships starting in Summer 2026.
These internships offer an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting students and graduates as they explore and progress into positive career destinations. Depending on the internship speciality you apply for, you will help deliver student facing activities, support a range of careers projects, contribute to high-quality careers information and resources, and work closely with our student delivery staff.
Full training will be provided. Candidates will be contacted after the advertised closing date, with shortlisted applicants invited to an assessment centre and interview (date to be confirmed).
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The internship specialities that you can apply for are:
Graduate Support Intern
Working 1-1 with graduates, and co-ordinating and delivering activities as part of a Graduate Support Programme that can be accessed by all graduates, to ensure that as many as possible secure a positive outcome that is right for them after leaving university.
