How do I apply?

When you find a vacancy that you wish to apply for, click the 'Apply now' button. You'll be offered the choice of applying using your LinkedIn profile or alternatively, you can upload your CV to your application.

You'll receive an email acknowledging your application and one of our dedicated team will review your application personally.

We're proud to be a Disability Confident employer. If you encounter any accessibility challenges during your online application, please let us know by contacting: yourfuture@edfenergy.com and one of the recruitment team will be in touch.

Are there any issues applying for roles using an iCloud email address?

We've identified some infrequent issues when applicants apply via an iCloud email address. To ensure you receive all communications, we recommend using an alternative email provider to apply for roles where possible.

I wanted to apply for a position I saw, but it's not listed anymore - can I still apply?

All of our Early Careers roles do have a closing date listed, however, occasionally, we may close roles early if we reach our application numbers. If you're interested in a vacancy which has closed, please contact: yourfuture@edfenergy.com and the team will help you. You can also register your interest on our careers site, so that you get notified of any future roles which may suit your requirements.

How can I check the status of my application?

We always respond to applications as soon as possible, and we will aim to update you on progress within 7 working days, however, you can also monitor progress on your application through your EDF profile on the careers site, or by emailing us for an update at: yourfuture@edfenergy.com.

Who can I contact for feedback on my application?

Due to the high number of applications that we receive, we're unable to provide detailed feedback to candidates who are not successful at application or online testing stage. After online testing, you'll receive a personalised feedback report, which will guide you on your areas of strength and areas of development for the future. If you have any questions, or would like feedback following other stages of the process, please contact us at: yourfuture@edfenergy.com

Do you accept speculative applications?

Instead of accepting speculative CVs, we advise you to register your details on our careers website and set up alerts for future opportunities which will be relevant to you.

What do you do with my personal details?

At EDF, we respect your privacy and value the trust you put in us when you share your personal details with us. Find more information on what data we collect and why we collect this data from you:EDF privacy and cookie policy.

Who do I contact for queries about Graduate Programmes, Industrial Placements, Apprenticeships or Work Experience opportunities?

For Graduate, 12-month Placement and Apprentice queries, please contact the Early Careers Recruitment Team at: YourFuture@edfenergy.com. If you're interested in work experience, we offer virtual work experience, which you can access here Virtual Work Experience.

I'm a Recruitment Consultant, how can I work with EDF?

We don't use Recruitment Agencies for Early Careers recruitment. For Experienced Hire recruitment, we operate a preferred supplier list for recruitment agencies and are unable to accept unsolicited or speculative applications from suppliers not on the list. Please contact us to find out more here: AgencyQueries@edfenergy.com.

As part of our recruitment process, it is essential that you have the right to work in the UK. During your onboarding, we will ask you to complete a right to work check, which may be conducted either virtually or in person, depending on your documentation. We will inform you of the specific process when we begin onboarding.

For all our Early Careers programmes, if you meet our role requirements at application review, we'll take you through to the next part of the process. The next stage is a test that will focus on your natural skills and behaviours. This will come from a company called Arctic Shores. Keep an eye on your inbox and remember to check your spam/junk folder too as they may pop in there!

If you pass our testing, you'll move on to our video interview. This is a one-way video interview, where we will ask you a series of scenario-based questions for you to respond to.

Almost there! Following the video interview, we will get in contact with you (usually within 3 weeks) to let you know if you have been successful at moving onto the next stage or not. The next stage will be an assessment centre or face-to-face interview, depending on the programme you have applied for. You can find out more about each stage of our assessment process on the EDF Careers site. The whole process usually takes 6-8 weeks and we'll be in touch throughout.

How does the interview process work?

Interviews are designed to measure the skills and behaviours required to be successful in each of the programmes we offer. All candidates are assessed against the same set of skills and behaviours to ensure fairness and these are specific to the role that's been applied to.

Our face-to-face interviews are carried out by Hiring Managers, Recruiters, and HR colleagues from across the business and these can be done virtually or in person.

These are done as a standalone interview for our Industrial Placement programmes, but for Graduate and Apprentice programmes, they form part of the assessment centre day.

What happens at an assessment centre?

If you're invited to an assessment centre, the recruitment team will let you know what to expect. Our assessment days will involve several different exercises, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate all the different skills and behaviours that are important to the programme you have applied for.

Our assessment centres are usually done virtually, but you will be advised of this when you receive your invitation. We will also send you more information about what to expect on the day when we invite you to the assessment centre.

What to wear for my interview?

At EDF, most people wear smart casual attire. However, interviewees usually dress in business-wear. A good example of this is a clean and ironed shirt with smart trousers/skirt or suit and smart shoes. This is just as important for a video interview as it is when meeting us face-to-face.

What is the dress code?

For site and remote technical roles you'll be provided with a uniform and necessary PPE. Otherwise, our employees are expected to dress appropriately for the environment in which they work.

When will I hear the outcome?

We know you'll be keen to hear the outcome of your interview or assessment centre, so we will always aim to update you within 7 days of an assessment centre or within 7 days of our final interview taking place.

How do I tell you about any adjustments required in respect of a disability?

We're proud to be a Disability Confident employer. If you encounter any accessibility challenges during your online application, or you require any adjustments or support during the selection process, please let us know by contacting: yourfuture@edfenergy.com.

We operate a guaranteed interview scheme for candidates with disabilities, which means that if you meet the minimum criteria for the opportunity and you share your disability with us, you will automatically progress to the video interview stage of our selection process.

I have just finished School / College and don't have any work experience - can I still apply to EDF?

Yes, we don't require you to have any previous work experience for our Early Careers programmes. You can find out more about all of the programmes we offer on our early careers page.

Who do I contact for queries about Graduate Programmes, Industrial Placements, Apprenticeships or Work Experience opportunities?

Please contact our Early Careers Recruitment Team here: YourFuture@edfenergy.com

We're aware that a number of employment scams have targeted EDF recently and we take this very seriously. If you receive something that looks suspicious please don't respond or click on any links or attachments. You can report any suspicious communications to us by emailing fraud@edfenergy.com.

To help you remain vigilant, please note the following:

Our Recruitment Team will only use an official EDF email address to contact you.

EDF will never request financial information or payments during the recruitment process.

You can apply for all EDF job opportunities on our company website.

You should never disclose any personal information (national insurance number, date of birth, bank account details, address) or make payments to an unknown party.

If you live in the UK and believe that you're a victim of identity fraud please visit:ICO: Identity theft.

The Employer Support Fund (ESF) online claims tool is live, and the third claims window is officially open. Providers that have opted in to the fund can submit claims for eligible employer costs supporting industry placements that started between 23 April 2025 and 31 March 2026.

Funding is only confirmed until the end of March, so we strongly encourage providers signed up to the fund to make full use of their allocation while its available. The ESF is designed to remove cost barriers that often prevent employers from offering placements, such as equipment purchases, staff time for training , supervising and mentoring and health and safety or site access costs.

The deadline for opting into the ESF has now passed. If your organisation did not opt into the ESF, we have assumed thatyour organisation has decided not to participate in the Employer Support Fund.

You can access the online tool via your DfE sign-in account . Guidance on using the online tool is available at the bottom of this article. Our guidance on the ESF and the employer declaration form can be found

Providers are responsible for uploading claims on behalf of employers. To support timely processing, we strongly encourage early submission of claims.

All claims must be supported by:

A signed employer declaration form (signed by both employers and providers)

Receipts or invoices from employers

These documents should be uploaded in non-editable formats. If multiple receipts are provided, please merge them into a single file before uploading.

To make claiming easier for all employers, we can confirm that Update on invoices can be used as evidence for staff time claims and meet the requirement for a 'receipt'. This applies to costs for placement setup, supervision, mentoring, and evaluation. An invoice should include:

Number of students supported

Total hours claimed

Hourly rate (max £35/hour)

Total amount claimed (including VAT)

Reason for time claimed (e.g., setup, supervision, mentoring)

The deadline for uploading claims is 11:59pm on the dates listed below. Note - the tool will close for 3 working days after the deadline so that we can process claims.

All providers will receive payments directly from the DfE, except for maintained school sixth forms, whose payments will be made to their Local Authority. These providers may wish to engage with their local authority to ensure payment is received.

Following the closure of the ESF opt-in period this summer, the DfE has reviewed remaining unallocated funding. As a result, a small uplift has been applied to initial allocations for providers who opted in and requested additional funding. These updated allocations will be visible in your online tool account.
September webinar
The recording of the webinar is available is available here.

The webinar is for providers who have opted into the ESF for financial year 2025-2026. This session will cover ESF principles; how to support employers effectively; navigating the claims process and using the online tool. There will also be a live Q&A session.

We have published employer engagement material:

A new slide slide-pack for providers to use in conversations with employers (attached at the bottom of this page)

An existing article to help employers understand the fund.

A template to support claims for employer staff time.

Additional resources:

Further information on the Employer Support Fund is available via our published guidance.

A July webinar recording is available for providers

If you have any further questions about the fund please get in touch with employer.supportfund@education.gov.uk

Civil Service Care Leavers Internship Scheme  

# data[].attributes.body
The Care Leavers Internship Scheme is an award-winning scheme run by the Department for Education. We offer jobs for care leavers in either a central government department or agency. The duration of the internship scheme is 18-months. You can be made permanent after the first 12-months depending on:

your performance over the 12 months

headcount within the department

funding within the department

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Scheme

The Civil Service Care Leavers Internship Scheme is a flagship scheme which gives care leavers the chance to benefit from a 12-month paid internship in a central Government department/agency, with the possibility of the post being made permanent at the end of the 12 months.

The latest data shows 38% of care leavers aged 19-21 were NEET, compared to 11% of their peers in the general population. To help to address this the Internship scheme provides participants with the opportunity to develop and enhance their skills and has been the launch pad for a successful career in the Civil Service for many care leavers.
