GTH Undergraduate Placement & Graduate Scheme

Welcome

Thank you for showing an interest in our firm and the opportunities we can provide for your continued learning and experience in the workplace.

With 180 years of heritage, Greenslade Taylor Hunt is one of the longest established firms of chartered surveyors, auctioneers, property specialists and letting agents in the West Country.

Retaining our independent status, we are a firm that cares about our clients’ interests and one that can help with an array of property needs across Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall.

Our strong reputation in the West Country has been earned as a result of the professionalism, expertise and client relationships acquired since 1843. We continue to provide advice and support through the ever-changing challenges and opportunities our clients face.

The collective experience of our partners and experienced staff is brought together to enable clients to get the most from their property assets. We have been a part of the rural community for generations and pride ourselves on serving it.

What We Do

The services we provide are diverse and touch most aspects of the world of property. Be that bricks and mortar for residential or commercial sale or let, land, farms, development opportunities, antiques, livestock, machinery and crops as well as professional services to help people get the most from their property assets. The list is extensive.

But we don’t just sell or let property and stop there. We’re about providing solid, dependable advice to every client. Some of whom trust us for many years, and it’s not unusual for us to help generations of the same family with their property decisions.

Undergraduate Placement

If you are successful in gaining a placement with us, you will be working alongside our surveyors who are experts in their field, assisting with writing reports, mapping, undertaking inspections and on-site visits to name just a few, as well as getting office experience and working in the stunning South West countryside. Our teams work cohesively to ensure all clients are receiving the best service.

During your time with us, you will experience the diverse range of departments we have as well as learning a variety of specialist skills.

Not only will we support you in furthering your education, our placement provides the real life skills required as a working professional, such as communication, office skills and an understanding of the working environment.

Graduate Placement

Your next exciting step is applying your knowledge to the dayto-day tasks chartered surveyors face. By working in one of our specialist departments, we will support you in developing your knowledge as you work towards your Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyor membership and on to passing your Assessment of Professional Competence, together with other professional qualifications.

You will gain experience across multiple departments and have the unique opportunity to train to become an auctioneer and get involved with our livestock market at Sedgemoor Auction Centre.

There will be regular meetings with colleagues and APC counsellors, the opportunity to attend seminars and tutorials, as well as mock interviews prior to sitting your exams.

Our Commitment

We embrace innovation and look to challenge what may be viewed as old hat. We believe that you can help us do this through your fresh outlook, skills and enthusiasm, helping to drive our successful business forward.

We support a work-based learning approach and commit to passing down our years of knowledge and helping you develop the necessary skillset to be the best to serve our industry across the firm.

As a firm, we continue to ‘invest in the best’ by inviting you to join our journey, started by our predecessors 180 years ago, helping us to continue successfully for the next 180 years and beyond.

What Is It Like?

“The placement year has provided a fantastic opportunity to apply technical knowledge learned in the lecture theatre into the professional working environment whilst developing a further understanding. Being part of a team with rural expertise, experience and diverse departments, together with a fun working environment, has made my time with GTH first-class and I am very much looking forward to where this experience takes me.”

Mollie Gillard

Trainee Agricultural Surveyor

“I find it a lot more enjoyable and interesting learning on the job instead of sitting in a classroom. I feel I gain a greater depth of knowledge by learning whilst working. My boss has been the main support during my time at GTH, he has gone above and beyond to help me.”

Foster

Residential Sales Apprentice

“Since I have been at GTH I have never had a dull day having been involved with a variety of agency work, planning, valuation, grant schemes and landlord and tenant work, to name a few. GTH have been excellent in supporting me through my APC where we have regular graduate meet-ups and one-to-one sessions with our counsellor to ensure we are on track and supporting each other.”

“During my time at GTH I have been involved with a variety of tasks to include agency work, strategic land work, valuation and consultancy. I feel GTH have been supporting me through my journey to take my APC, offering regular meetings with my counsellor and mock interviews.”

Time Out!

It’s not all work and no play. There is a thriving sporting scene at GTH, with opportunities to join colleagues in the football, cricket and hockey teams. You’ll find most offices arrange regular get-togethers and our biennial GTH Partner’s Party is legendary!

Our Community

As part of the fabric of the West Country for so many years, we feel it’s only right to put something back into our local communities.

Whether it’s cycle rides or sports challenges, dragon boat racing, bake sales or personal goals (like marathons or Three Peaks), our staff love to get involved and raise money for good causes or offer their time.
