  • Strong sales instinct and negotiating ability
  • Focus and drive to hit targets

This is a full-time, permanent position (Monday to Friday). While the role is primarily office-based, you’ll also have opportunities to meet with clients and candidates in person. A full UK driving licence is preferred, as supporting people face-to-face is a key part of how we work.
