Providing impeccable client service is crucial to us and our values create a significant culture to enable us to maintain our reputation, whilst also creating an environment that is supportive and enjoyable to work in.
We strive to help employees in their personal development. We encourage people to use their own initiative but want everyone to work interdependently, not independently. Client focus has to be the key element in all our thinking and action.

The team deals with a broad range of clients from small to medium sized companies through to international enterprises.
Being a confident communicator will be a necessary skill as you will engage with clients on a regular basis.
As employers, we support flexible working which allows our team members to perform their job anywhere, at any time as long as the needs of the business are met. This opportunity provides flexible working from the office, or home, and is based in Newcastle upon Tyne or Stockton.
