Do you LOVE your job? Or do you suffer from Sunday night dread?
Do you think of your work colleagues as friends, or people you would avoid in the supermarket?
Do you know that your employer wants the very best for you and will help you to achieve any career or personal goal, or do they take you for granted?
If you need a change, then we are looking for wonderful, friendly, ambitious people to join our team.
On top of the normal things you would expect from an employer we offer:
- A POSITIVE work environment, where you can actually enjoy work (it is a very large part of your life, why would you choose to be miserable at work!)
- Career PROGRESSION. We will pay for and organise all your CPD and support/encourage any career ambitions. There are a number of opportunities for career development and progression.
- FLEXIBLE working. We offer hybrid working for many roles. We are also happy to accommodate part-time or staggered returns to work. Great if you have been on a career break or if you have dependents who rely on you being around for certain times of the day.
- FREE parking. No more fighting for expensive parking spaces. There is also a bus stop right outside, if you prefer not to use your car (unfortunately due to the nature of some roles, a driving licence and access to a vehicle will be required).
- Great and VARIED clients. We are in the lucky position where we can be selective who we work with and we only work with nice, friendly and (generally) well behaved clients. We work with a wide range of industries and businesses.
Sounds great, huh? On top of that you would be joining our Practice at the start of a new growth journey and you could help form the future of our team.
