ABOUT YOU

• You are a bright and well-presented person of imagination and ambition. You are looking for your first or second ‘real’ job. Alternatively, you may be returning to work and can demonstrate previous relevant experience and transferable skills. You are thorough in everything you do and are self-starting.

• You have good GCSE grades with flawless written and spoken English. You have great interpersonal skills and can communicate professionally and confidentially with senior clients and their assistants.

• You have a desire to learn and develop (we encourage professional development and the pursuit of Adult Learning qualifications). You can pick up new computer skills quickly.

ABOUT US

We are a well-established (12 years) leadership consultancy. Our clients are blue-chip and we carry out interesting work and research, based on sound psychology and business practice. Most of our clients are City/West End based, with some international work. We practise what we preach: all our colleagues are given the opportunity to grow and develop on top of their day job. Our team is warm, collaborative and supportive.

We are a Mac based environment and use Microsoft Office, the Adobe CS suite as well as Apple Keynote and the DayLite database environment. Knowing most of these tools would be an advantage. Having the ability to pick them up quickly is also acceptable - and we will be testing basic competency in ICT at interview stage.
