If you’re in the penultimate year of a degree in Nutrition and looking ahead to your career, a Nutrition, Health & Wellness placement at Nestlé could be for you. You’ll take a year out of your studies and spend it here at Nestlé, where you’ll develop skills with the support of expert mentors and gain a valuable insight into what it’s like to work in Nutrition at the world’s biggest food and drink manufacturer. You’ll return to your studies with renewed purpose and, with real experience under your belt, you’ll have a serious advantage when it comes to finding a graduate position after university.

“I didn’t know which area of Nutrition interested me most. My placement gives me a wide range of experiences and a sense of purpose that will help me build a career in the industry.”

Ashlyn Davis – Currently on Nutrition Placement

What can I expect?

On our Nutrition Placement, you’ll collaborate with different business categories as you deliver live projects that will have an impact on the development of Nestlé products that end up on shelves. You’ll also support the wellbeing of colleagues. The one-to-one support of our expert mentors will help you make the most of your time here and guide you towards the best industry role for you.

What will you get out of it?

You’ll earn a salary of £23,250 and finish the course with knowledge and drive your successes in the final year of university and beyond.

Career progression

Let’s hear about the career journey of a previous placement-

“Completing the placement taught me to how to manage workload, priorities and deadlines, and encouraged me to learn new skills on-the-job. I returned post-graduation to Regulatory Affairs, and my placement gave me the knowledge base that I needed to succeed in this role and other roles that I’ve had with Nestlé since graduating”

Richard Vennard – Regulatory Affairs Manager

Entry requirements

The placement is for students in the penultimate year of an Association for Nutrition Accredited Undergraduate Degree Programme.

We’re looking for people who take nutrition seriously. At a company like ours, even small improvements in the nutritional content of our products can make a big difference. For you that presents a huge opportunity that you’ll want to make the most of—and you’ll have the mental agility to do just that.

You will need to have the right to work in the UK that is not time limited and does not require sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route either at the start of the scheme or on completion.

Locations

Our Nutrition Placement is based at our Head Office near Gatwick Airport.
