A Unique Opportunity to Help Build Our Future London Team
One of our top consultants is preparing to expand their team into London within the next 12–18 months, and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to be part of that journey from the beginning.
This is an exciting opportunity for candidates who may have moved up to Leeds from the South for university and are looking to stay here for the next couple of years while building their career, with the potential opportunity to relocate back to London as Foster Lawson continues to grow.

For the right people, this creates a genuine fast-track progression opportunity with the chance to grow with the business, take on more responsibility early, and accelerate your career far quicker than in a traditional graduate role.
