    • If you perform well, you could be given the opportunity to join one of our graduate training programmes.

    • A minimum of112 UCAS points across 3 A Levels or an equivalent level 3 qualification, or 104 UCAS points across 4 Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher Level) and a predicted honours degree.
    • Effective verbal and written communication skills are crucial to convey information clearly and concisely for successful collaboration with team members and clients.
    • Individuals who methodically analyse and interpret data in order to solve problems.
    • Excellent interpersonal skills, which enable you to build and maintain working relationships with colleagues and clients and remain calm under pressure.
    • An interest in business and commerce with the ability to demonstrate a commercial outlook through organisational and time management skills.
    • Must be willing to travel to client sites and other offices as required.
    • Following changes to government policy in April 2024, we only accept applications from individuals with an existing, permanent, right to live and work in the UK.
