Early Career Professionals in the UK
We actively recruit for a variety of entry points for those new to the work place. Our programmes are more than a great introduction to Baxter’s environment and culture. Each day will give you a better working knowledge of your fields and valuable insights into the healthcare industry.
The opportunities which are available, provide hands-on experience with engaging projects, mentoring and other opportunities to make a valuable impact on the lives of our patients.
Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a job with development opportunities. Apprenticeships combine practical training with formal study and include the opportunity to work alongside experienced employees, gain job-specific skills and time for study related to your role.
Apprenticeships are available to anyone over the age of 16, living in England, and are supported through the National Apprenticeship Service. There will be different entry requirements depending on the industry, job role and apprenticeship level.
If an apprenticeship is your preferred approach to longer term development, Baxter is committed to providing further opportunities for apprenticeships as individual’s careers progress. The range and levels for these are increasing all the time as we explore the benefit for employees and Baxter.
Undergraduate Schemes
Our undergraduate programme allows students who have completed their second year to gain hands-on experience and development within a specific area of the business.

On returning to complete their final year students will benefit from valuable work placed gains which can be applied to the remaining study time. This programme allows opportunity not only to assume responsibility and to make valuable contributions, but also to learn from, work and network with Baxter professionals from a variety of areas across the organisation.
