We also have a track record of progression, support, and training. We have a plethora of examples across our teams where people have progressed upwards or into completely new opportunities within the business.

• Strong verbal and written skills

We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are providing services to our colleagues and customers. We know that this will help us build a great service, which our customers will love. This is great news for our business. Diversity for us is also, importantly, about building happy teams full of people that want to learn and want to be inspired by each other and our different experiences.

We review applications on an individual basis, and if we feel you would be a good fit we’ll invite you for a face-to-face chat about the role, and to see if we’re a good fit for you.

We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment. We want to know about you, and why you feel this is the opportunity for you.
