As an organisation, we ask for only two things when recruiting; you do a top quality job (we're not the place for people seeking to do the bare minimum) and that you're nice (we champion a positive workplace) - both are key ingredients to a successful career with us, graduate job or otherwise., As with all trainee / graduate jobs, this role heavily involves a broad range of training - both of our internal systems, technology and processes, as well as understanding financial services. Typically, it's a role that's always been popular with graduates (but a degree isn't a prerequisite!) and those developing or taking their career in a different direction. Strong written English is a must, as is a can-do, pro-active attitude to learn the ropes of the role and the industry.

Hybrid working with the ability to work from home (on completion of training, relevant to role and dependant on experience)
