Able to work under your own initiative to deadlines and as part of a multidisciplinary team
Strong interpersonal skills to facilitate effective working relationships with colleagues and clients
Experience of giving evidence at Public Inquiry or Hearings whilst not essential, would be an advantage
We work on a national basis and as such you will need to be willing to travel for work

What's in it for you?

We're proud to be an accredited ILM training provider, internationally recognised and providing robust fully accredited professional training programmes - to master's degree level professional qualifications in leadership & management and executive coaching & mentoring, we support learning and development for everyone.

We understand the need to work flexibly, with agile offices and hybrid working offered as standard, we're happy to talk about flexible working.
