Abbott offers a wealth of opportunities to graduates across varying fields of expertise in both graduate scheme style roles and also functional positions. All opportunities can be found advertised on our careers site. Roles include:
“During my internship I worked within the Heart Failure and Cardiac Rhythm Management divisions. The internship provided exposure to many aspects of the business including marketing, commercial and education as well as the opportunity to witness first-hand next generation cardiac devices improve customers’ lives. As an intern, I felt valued by the company and was given the autonomy to drive projects and initiatives that impact the business. The skills I developed and experiences I gained helped me secure my current role as a clinical specialist within Cardiac Rhythm Management. I was inspired by the passion for patient care across all aspects of the business during my internship and now I feel privileged to make a difference to customers’ lives and support cardiac services within my region.”
Alice Garnham, Former Intern, Current Clinical Specialist, UK
"I worked in multidisciplinary teams to perform validation testing. We tested the functionality of machines and production lines before they were used in production to ensure they operated correctly. These projects were invaluable experiences and helped develop my engineering and professional skills."
Elisha, Former Operations Engineering Intern, Witney UK
“During my internship with Abbott’s Medical business, I gained a range of experience across clinical, commercial, and educational divisions of the cardiac devices business. One of the fantastic features of this and interning with Abbott is the ability to rotate through different areas of the business to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire industry. This ultimately made me a well experienced graduate going forward and equipped me with a wide range of useful skills and networking opportunities. Continuing on from my internship, I now work at Abbott as a field technical engineer which allows me to see first-hand the amazing work we do and the real difference we have on the lives of our customers.”
Joe Banfield, Former Intern, Current Field Technical Engineer, Electrophysiology, UK
"I have been absolutely blown away by the high calibre of CRM interns that I have been lucky to have worked with over the last 5 years. They have not only brought energy and fresh insight into our team, but they have also brought an unbiased perspective on our business which has helped to deliver on various projects. We have seen interns confidently delivering presentations to the whole division and also take lead roles in developing and delivering new internal training programmes.
Anna, Manager, Territory Manager, Cardiac Rhythm Management
"Student interns are very important for Abbott. It is a long-term commitment for the company – in the UK we have been employing student interns for as long as I have been with the company – which is over 22 years! We truly value the contribution that our interns bring and aim to ensure that they have a rewarding experience which sets them up for a future career. It demonstrates the success of our scheme that we have had a number of interns return and be employed full time.
