Supporting your overall wellbeing with counselling, mental health support, life management, medical guidance, and helpful resources. Olivia is our friendly virtual assistant. She is available 24/7 to support you through the application process, answer questions, guide you, arrange interviews, and provide timely updates.

Before we can employ you, we are required to verify your eligibility to work in the UK & Ireland. Acceptable documents to evidence your right to work can be found here. You will need to provide original documents such as a valid passport or a valid UK/Ireland visa (with a college letter listing term dates, where applicable). Only original documents will be accepted.

The interview is an absolutely vital part of our hiring process. It will involve questions around values and attitudes and will allow the interviewee to show why they are the right person for the job. Example questions include asking for an example of times you have worked as part of a team and how you made a difference to that team. We look for people who have the right attitudes and behaviours to deliver a great customer and colleague experience; we hire for qualities and potential, rather than qualifications.
