Absolutely not. In fact, we’re looking for people of all ages and from all backgrounds to launch their careers with us.

Do I receive a staff discount?

Yes. From day one, you can take advantage of a staff discount when buying a Taylor Woodrow house.

What happens once I apply?

We’ll review your application to make sure it meets our criteria for the scheme. Then, if you are shortlisted, you’ll be invited for an assessment day.

What does the assessment day consist of?

There’s plenty to keep you busy! As well as a presentation about Taylor Woodrow, there’ll be verbal and numerical reasoning tests, interviews and the opportunity to have your questions answered.
