About us
We are Gradsouthwest, the graduate job board for south west England. Since 2001 we have specialised in advertising vacancies to students and graduates who want to work in the region.
We value the skills graduates bring to employers and the wider south west economy. To retain graduate skills, we work with recruiters and companies of all sizes and sectors, universities and colleges to showcase the fantastic career opportunities available to graduates across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Bristol and the West of England.
Initially founded by south west university careers departments, the service is now run by experienced graduates and continues to enjoys the support of universities and colleges.
We retain our strong campus links which enables us to match graduates with businesses quickly, simply and effectively. Over the years we've successfully recruited for thousands of companies and we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service. We always go the extra mile to find quality candidates.
