14 Your journey as a graduate
What do our current graduates think?
Freya Oldham
The graduate programme has given me a real breadth

of opportunities within a short period of time, my
knowledge, skills, and confidence has just grown massively.
Being a part of such a range of projects, teams and tasks
has been a joy for someone like me who has a passion
for variety and is keen to find out more about where my
career journey will go.
From the numerous highlights, a stand out was introducing

our own internal podcast aimed at people in their early
careers. My other stand out would be leading on a
local project local to me, and taking a major role in the
acquisition of the site.
Ben Carter
I was interested in working for Homes England before I

saw the applications for the graduate programme open,
having worked in affordable housing and planning after
university. Through my placements, and via the employee
networks, I have learned a lot and developed my technical
knowledge and skills.
A highlight of my time here has to be supporting on the

submission of the planning applications for York Central,
one of the largest brownfield regeneration projects in the
country. For me, this summarises the scale and impact of
Homes England, and why I am so proud to start my career
here.

Pemi Oluwalowo
I joined Homes England because, at its core, it transcends

being just a housing agency. It is dedicated to promoting
social equality.
The graduate programme has allowed me to delve

into the housing sector, despite it not being my initial
background. A significant highlight was my involvement
in developing the strategic plan, witnessing how it
guides our steadfast commitment to improving people’s
livelihood outcomes through housing.
I’ve experienced substantial growth in confidence, honed

existing skills, and acquired new ones through interactions
with exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate
colleagues.
Maxwell Clark
The graduate programme has provided so many

opportunities to get involved in the Agency’s work in a
meaningful way. I’ve greatly enhanced my understanding
of how regeneration projects are planned, funded and
managed and worked on a project of national importance,
delivering £80m of investments in London.
On top of my daily responsibilities, I sit on the committees

of the Early Careers Network and the Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Build Together and
Friends Network. These groups have given me support,
networking opportunities and a greater understanding of
what others do.
