Who we're looking for

Whether you're experienced in recruitment or just starting out, this is your chance to develop valuable professional skills, grow your career, and work with a team that is both ambitious and supportive.

Any previous recruitment or customer service experience would be a bonus, but isn't essential - our training team will give you all the information and guidance you'll need to succeed when you join.

We're looking for people with a passion and drive for delivering great customer service. You'll be a clear, confident communicator with excellent interpersonal skills. You'll also be comfortable working in a fast paced team environment, with 2 days a week in our office and 3 home days.

What else do I need to know?

This is a high security client account, which means you'll need to complete an enhanced pre-employment clearance check if you're successful (Non-Police Personnel Vetting Level 2 + Counter Terrorism Check).

This will include checking criminal, intelligence and national security records, public records and credit agencies. You'll also be asked to provide details for immediate family members, friends and people you closely associate with. Once you've submitted the form, it usually takes around 2-3 months for the vetting to be complete.

We encourage you to consider this carefully, and only apply if you're comfortable with these checks being carried out, if you're successful.
