• Hard working, resilient, with a drive to learn
• Able to build strong relationships and with good communication skills
• Reliable and able to work under pressure
• Have a curious and proactive approach with an open mindset
• Logical and an interest in understanding and analysing data.

If you’re enrolled at university or have gained a degree or higher qualification, you’re not eligible for our Apprenticeship Programmes, however we encourage you to apply for our Internship or Graduate opportunities.
