If I'm not mistaken, this is an outfit in Leicester?

Looking at their page they're also listing positions for PPL(H) FIs. Six, to be precise. But they seem to have them listed over a certain period rather than right now.
They also want a CPL FI.

Their scholarship also requires PPL graduation through them.

My guess?
They're rotating pilots through the pipeline, and hitting eject when they hit the hours needed to be sent into the great blue yonder, and picking up the latest crop of graduates in order to keep salaries down.

It's a cynical guess, but that's what it looks like.
They're hiring way too many people if those posts are supposed to be for permanent staff.

Very similar to the L3/CAE scheme of pushing young people through the frozen ATPL on a 100k loan secured on mum and dad's house and going to Easyjet/Ryannair/Wizz who have them repay the loan by clipping their starting £25k salary for 7 years.
