They must have excellent written and problem-solving skills, along with strong communication and organisational abilities. Our current focus for Graduate positions is within our Data/Business Analytics, Key Account Management, Insolvency/Debt Collection, Operations and Complaints teams.

People are at the core of everything we do, so if you’re looking for a career and not just a job you’ve come to the right place! The professional training on offer includes professional qualifications in accountancy and law and short courses at top business schools such as LSE.

You can expect to be part of a collegial and supportive team, with a strong emphasis on knowledge-sharing, continuous learning, mutual respect, and personal development. We will ask a lot of you, and in return, opportunities for advancement in our company are available for those who put in the effort. We value our people and love to watch them develop and advance in their careers with us.

When we offer you a post, we will help and support you in your work, but be prepared to learn through doing the role as much as undergoing formal training. These posts are for applicants with confidence and initiative as well as the maturity required to take responsibility and make decisions and be confident of their own abilities and potential.
