Description

Background
At Moorhouse, you can really make a difference


As we continue to grow as a firm, our principles and values remain at the forefront of everything we do.

All our clients are FTSE 100 / 250 companies or major government departments, and we work with them on their most complex, high-profile transformation programmes.

Our people are some of the best management consultants you will have the opportunity to work with.

What stands them apart is the genuine realisation that we can all excel, grow and develop our careers in Moorhouse together.

Our relentless focus on maintaining a high-quality bar when it comes to recruitment has been instrumental in differentiating us from our clients and is key to our continued growth and success as a firm.


Over the next five years, our strategy is to double in size from our current headcount of c.200 consultants; you will have the opportunity to work with an experienced and committed team and play a key role in shaping the future of the business.

We recognise that you need to choose us, just as much as we need to want you.

Whilst we are excited by the opportunity to recruit a new member of the Business Support team to play such an instrumental role in supporting the business, we need someone equally excited by this opportunity.
