Structured external and internal courses and on-the-job training will be a regular feature of your working life.

Structure

Our induction programme covers the core skills needed in consultancy plus an introduction to our key areas of business. Together with your career counsellor (who will be an experienced consultant) you will identify your specific training needs. This will be coupled with on-the-job training.

Skills development

Our training programme is designed to help you establish the technical, commercial and managerial competencies you will need as you take on greater responsibility.

Qualifications

Should you consider gaining further formal qualifications recognised as benefiting yourself and the company, we will consider providing support in terms of both time and money.

Career development

As you develop your skills, you will play an increasingly prominent role, often with project or account management responsibilities, with more emphasis placed on budget control and the direction of other staff. Career development is also possible through the attainment of particular core technical skills that are applicable across a number of our markets and projects.

You will be able to acquire additional responsibilities, according to your ability, aspirations and the needs of the business. Your performance will be regularly appraised and you will receive appropriate career management advice and support in reaching mutually agreed objectives. All promotions are based strictly on merit and will reflect your commercial, technical and managerial competence.

Aside from regular salary reviews, we provide all staff with access to a pension scheme, income protection, private healthcare, life assurance cover and a discretionary performance-based bonus. Within a few years of joining us, most graduate joiners are promoted to grades that attract additional benefits such as a car allowance, enhanced pension contribution and increased rewards through our bonus and share schemes.

Those with the necessary drive, commitment and ability will have the opportunity to reach the highest levels within the company.

Three summary areas:

1. Flexible programme: develop according to your ability, aspirations and the needs of the business.
2. Rapid development: staff can progress quickly to senior positions.
3. Regular appraisals: pay rises and promotions are based on merit and will reflect your skills and ability.
