This is a unique opportunity to blend project management, problem-solving, and creativity in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. You won't be expected to know everything on day one - we'll support your development and help you grow into the role.

Our team set the bar high. Our people drive our business. The quality of your work and ability to communicate with colleagues and client teams at all levels make Newton exceptional. Our people possess key qualities that make them stand out as exceptional individuals.

This is an entry-level role, ideal for a recent graduate or someone with 1-2 years of experience in marketing, events, or content creation. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys storytelling, visual content creation, and bringing fresh ideas to life, even if they're new to recruitment. You don't need to have done it all before - we're looking for someone with potential, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.

Skills And Attributes We Are Looking For

• A creative thinker with a flair for content creation and visual storytelling
• Strong project management and organisational skills
• Thrive on early responsibility and be self-motivated and driven to success
• Analytical mindset with the ability to problem-solve and use data to inform decisions.
• Strong, effective communication skills which allow you to excite a candidate and inspire confidence in a director of the business
• A positive attitude, and the desire and drive to make things better, is essential to fit into the Newton culture

• Self-aware, with the willingness to receive and act on feedback
  
  

Benefits

Newton maximises the potential of our people, whether in client-based consulting roles, or in head office functions. The prospects for career and personal development in this role are no exception. Our business continues to grow, through our historically effective organic recruitment model and in addition our recent acquisitions and commitment to international expansion. This business growth, alongside our continual striving to add more value from every function of the business creates significant opportunities for those with the right capabilities and attitudes.

Supporting you starts from day one. New joiners often highlight the Newton energy and support they first encounter in the recruitment process and that continues through into their time at Newton. Once in role, you'll get support from several sources - from stretching projects, on-the-job feedback and developmental guidance from senior managers. You'll have a dedicated and consistent Development Manager to support your career progression. You'll receive regular appraisals and annual pay reviews.

We offer a highly competitive salary (£32k - £36k) and our generous benefits package includes Life Assurance, Income Protection, pension contributions and 25 days holiday (not including bank holidays). We also operate a profit share scheme so that our people share in the success of the business. The profit share bonus is based on company performance and typically paid out in March and September.

Joining us also brings many social benefits. We have a full social calendar with Spring activity days, Christmas events, a 2-day Summer event and 4 Newton-sponsored weekends a year.
