About Us 

HarperCollins is one of the UK’s foremost, diverse and innovative multi-platform publishers. We publish a wide range of books, from cutting-edge contemporary fiction, to block-busting thrillers and from fantasy literature to children’s literature and enduring classics. We also publish a great selection of non-fiction titles, including history, celebrity memoirs, biographies, popular science, dictionaries, maps, reference titles and education books, and our digital business is thriving. With nearly 200 years of history, we publish some of the world’s foremost authors, from Nobel prize-winners to worldwide bestsellers. In addition, we also publish the works of Agatha Christie, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. 

We’re based in the News Building which we share with our News UK and Dow Jones colleagues in the newly-established London Bridge Quarter, opposite the famous Borough Market.  Our new open-plan office has amazing views across London, and includes a variety of break-out areas to aid inspiration and a collaborative approach, a multi-media suite, and a fabulous canteen floor and book shop.

In the last few years, we have been named Publisher of the Year, picked up the major industry award for digital innovation with the ground-breaking authonomy.com, and won some of the top literary prizes - the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Samuel Johnson, the Orange Prize and the Booker Prize – twice.  During that time we’ve also been home to some amazing books, brands and authors – from Paddington to Game of Thrones, Lena Dunham to Hilary Mantel.

And the reason for HarperCollins’ enduring success? Simple. We have the best creative and commercial brains in the business.  We get behind great ideas, we aren’t afraid to experiment and we always push those boundaries.  We know it’s not only about books anymore; people want their information, their entertainment and their content in all sorts of formats and we provide all of that for them - and more. 


Graduate Scheme 

Our Graduate Scheme is the only trade publishing scheme that offers candidates an opportunity to get paid experience over an extensive period of time. We give candidates the opportunity to work across the whole business, working in Editorial, Publicity, Marketing, Digital and Strategy teams, amongst others. We give them projects, we push them and we expect them to get really involved with the business, championing our books and our authors. Growing and developing our people is really important to us at HarperCollins and we believe passionately in training as well as numerous of opportunities to learn while you work. 
               
The HarperCollins Graduate scheme will kick off in Spring 2015 with a round of video interviews, an open day and an on-site assessment day, culminating in three graduates joining us in October 2015 for their rotational programme. Applications for the Graduate Scheme will open in April. 

Please keep an eye on @jobsatharper throughout March for interviews with our previous grads and the chance to tweet in your questions for them to answer!
