The other stuff we are looking for

What's in it for you

• Base salary of £25,000 (pro-rata for part-time).
• Top earners make £50,000-£70,000 with uncapped commission.
• Car allowance for part-time employees and a company car for full-time employees.
• 25 days annual leave, UK bank holidays, and your birthday off to treat yourself (pro-rata). Plus, the option to buy and sell 5 days' leave, to suit your personal needs.
• Pension scheme (up to 10% match), BUPA medical cover, healthcare plan, and life assurance.
• Tools, rewards, and support to help you thrive in your career.
• A host of Family Friendly policies e.g., neonatal leave, 14-week paternity leave, and carers leave.
