APPLICATIONS FOR OUR SEPTEMBER 2024 GRADUATE SCHEME WILL OPEN FROM 1^ST OCTOBER 2023 AND CLOSE AT 8PM ON 13^TH NOVEMBER 2023.

The links to apply will appear and will be live from 1^st October 2023.

CAN I APPLY? 

Although typical applicants will be studying, or have already completed, a RICS accredited BSc or MSc degree in Real Estate, Planning (RICS/RTPI) or Building Surveying, we welcome applications from ANY degree discipline from candidates who can demonstrate a genuine desire and enthusiasm to work in the industry and become a chartered surveyor.

We firmly believe recruiting a mix of graduates from different university and degree backgrounds brings a diversity of thought, skills and knowledge to the business.

DON’T HAVE A PROPERTY RELATED DEGREE?

No problem… If you wish to apply for our graduate scheme but do not have a RICS accredited property degree, you will (if successful) be required to undertake a suitable part-time RICS accredited MSc in Real Estate, either via an apprenticeship route or stand-alone degree. This typically takes 2 years to complete on a part-time basis and you can work towards your APC at the same time. You should therefore allow a minimum of 2.5 years to qualify.

PLEASE NOTE: For Graduate Planner and Graduate Building Surveyor roles you MUST have completed the relevant RICS/RTPI accredited degree in these subjects respectively.

HOW DO I APPLY?

We are on a mission to create the UK & Ireland’s most progressive and forward thinking commercial property consultancy.

Heard this elsewhere before, well think again! At LSH we genuinely want everyone to think beyond the obvious, to have the freedom to make a real difference, and not to follow onerous and bureaucratic tick box procedures. We want to wow our clients, and deliver results that go above and beyond expectations. The only way to do this is to think laterally, and overcome challenges with new and fresh solutions.

As a result, our culture is positively charged. All staff are empowered to drive their own careers with autonomy. That doesn’t mean you are alone and left to your own devices. Far from it!  We have a large support network for you to lean on for expert advice and guidance. We are a friendly, diverse and down-to-earth bunch from a wide range of different backgrounds who enjoy helping each other out.

From day 1, you will be treated as an equal member of the team. There is no room for sitting in the corner twiddling your thumbs - you’ll be involved in real instructions from our diverse and varied client base.

After all, the only way to learn is to get stuck in, as follows:

GRAD EXPECTATIONS

• A rotation system so you experience different business areas (dependent on location & pathway)
• A 2 year structured training programme so you smash your APC:
  - Including a dedicated APC supervisor and counsellor
  - A specialist APC trainer who will provide revision courses, case study/submission support and a mock interview to help you pass first time
  - A personal development plan to pick-up all the technical, business and professional skills required to succeed as a surveyor
  - A lively sports and social scene with your colleagues and fellow graduates
  - A competitive salary and benefits scheme to boot! 

No other commercial property business is quite like us.

We look further then your qualifications and who you may, or may not, know. We are constantly evolving, starring into the future, and developing new areas of our business all the time. After all, buildings may be static but the industry never stands still.

Technology is the heartbeat of such change. From blockchain to bitcoin and all proptech in between we continue to stride forward with great professionals in situ to solve the biggest property challenges of our time. 

This is why we seek a new breed of property professional. Those individuals with creativity, wit, a spark or two of ingenuity and, of course, drive. There really is no ideal background or profile – it’s all about relationship skills, communication and a thirst for new experiences.  

Welcome on board!
