Rentokil Pest Control Graduate Scheme

Rentokil Pest Control Graduate Scheme

Are you a recent graduate looking for an engaging, hands-on role that offers the opportunity to shape your career? Join Rentokil Pest Control’s graduate scheme and begin your exciting journey toward a successful career with a FTSE 100 company.

From the outset, our scheme is designed to give graduates practical responsibility, structured training, and clear progression within a well-established business. Your first steps involve industry-leading training combined with field-based experience to help you build commercial awareness, technical knowledge, and confidence in customer-facing situations.

This scheme is ideal for graduates who want more than a desk-based job, and who value variety, autonomy and delivering real results.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for ambitious, target-driven graduates who are eager to exceed expectations. To be considered for our pest control graduate scheme, you will need: 

  • A minimum of a 2:2 degree in a science-based field or relevant discipline such as Management, Hospitality or Logistics

  • A full UK driving licence

  • A strong work ethic paired with excellent customer service skills

  • Flexibility to meet business demands

If you enjoy practical, field-based work, where problem solving and communication are key, this could be the graduate scheme for you. You will work directly with customers, so you should be organised, dependable and comfortable managing your own schedule. Previous experience in pest control is not essential, as we provide full, comprehensive training.

"I joined the Rentokil Graduate Scheme as I wanted to join a company that promoted colleagues based on merit and hard work. I researched Rentokil before joining the grad scheme and was very interested in the fact that there are multiple career paths you could choose from, and I wanted to work towards being a manager. I chose the Surveyor role after I was a Technician as I had sales experience and wanted to gain more experience before working towards management. I then joined Operations as a Team Leader when I was ready to manage colleagues and then became a Local Operations Manager seven years later. My advice is to go for it and apply for the Graduate Scheme. You are greatly supported by line management with your career development and there are plenty of career paths to choose from."
