About the role:
The role is broken up into two main parts:

You’ll be dealing with Directors, HR Managers and Consultants on a daily basis so you’ll need to be comfortable speaking with individuals who know their stuff and giving them guidance on best practice where necessary! You don’t have to have industry knowledge, as you’ll be working hand in hand with our support team, but we can safely say those who possesses a winner’s mind-set are the ones who excel.
