What we need from you:

• Degree qualified (or equivalent, educated to at least A Level standard)
• Strong written and spoken communication skills
• Personable, proactive, motivated, and eager to learn
• Proficient in PC software such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Email, and Internet applications
• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple projects
• Detail-oriented

What we offer:

• A positive, team-focused, friendly environment
• Attractive salary plus commission
• Pension
• 29 days holiday (including your birthday and bank holidays), increasing to 34 days after 2 years of service
• Team days out (e.g., ghost hunting, clay pigeon shooting, F1 experience, horror movies at Cineworld)
