Are you a recent graduate looking to build a career in account management, sales and business development?
Do you want to join a growing, independent business where you’ll be trained, supported, and given real responsibility from day one?

This is a career development role designed for graduates who want to progress into high-performing Account Managers.
You will work directly with senior leadership and experienced Account Managers to learn how to manage client relationships, support contract delivery, and grow key accounts.

- Ambitious, driven and motivated to build a career
- Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
- Confident, organised and proactive
- Commercially minded with an interest in business and sales
- A team player with a positive, can-do attitude
Previous experience is not essential — attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn are far more important.
Why Join WHS?

- Clear progression into a full Account Manager role
- Exposure to a wide range of clients and industries
