BT Announces Plans For Hundreds Of UK Jobs
BT has announced plans for hundreds of new jobs at its UK hubs.
The 1,000 new roles will be based in Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Belfast, Ipswich and London.
Harmeen Mehta, Chief Digital and Innovation Officer at BT, said: "Digital was founded to accelerate BT’s transformation, innovation and return to growth. To succeed, we need to bring in and upskill the top digital talent, and our efforts will boost the tech communities in the UK and India along the way."
In India, BT will recruit approximately 1,800 new colleagues, centred around BT’s hubs in Bengaluru and Gurugram. Wherever possible, colleagues will be based out of one of BT’s amazing new regional workspaces where they can come together to collaborate when they need to.
BT is also continuing with its programme of up- and re-skilling, including the development of an expansive learning resource, the BT Digital Campus, drawing on industry-leading digital skills platforms as well as proprietary BT learning content, to ensure its existing talent can be at the cutting edge of Digital technology.
The talent needed will fill highly-skilled and exciting roles in product management, software engineering, cloud, design, data, AI and machine learning and agile delivery.
BT’s FY23 financial outlook remains unchanged as the incremental costs associated with these hiring plans are offset by a reduction in our reliance on subcontracted labour.
In order to support the recruitment drive, BT is bolstering its Digital recruitment capacity, under Director of HR, Digital, Mark Murphy. Murphy commented: "We’re hard at work transforming the way BT engages with talent as we add to the type of people we want in the heart of this new business unit. New arrivals will be immediately contributing to the progressive, collaborative, transformative ‘Digital Way’ at the heart of how it works."
