It's that grey, miserable time of year, not quite Christmas yet, but the wintery weather is beating down. With this in mind it easy to see why our winner this week is a prestigious and world famous airline that flies all over the world. Swapping bare autumn trees for palm trees might be part of the influence for BA jumping to the top of the list, however some of the programmes on offer are truly first class. Other jobs in the list are still hanging on from previous weeks with a couple of new additions. However, with the reigning champion has been deposed after The Volkswagen Group closed their job, how long will BA manage to hold onto to the top spot?

On closer inspection, it is easy to see why the role would be up here. For all its understated features, the role is ideal for graduates looking to move to the Big Smoke and looking to gain some professional experience. The role's main focus is on supporting the business and can provide the successful graduate the chance to pick up some key skills needed to be successful elsewhere.
