You will be responsible for providing first‑class, customer‑focused interactions, advising on our courses and booking clients for the courses that are appropriate for their needs.
This is a permanent position with a starting salary of circa £27K and a generous bonus which can add an additional 20‑35% to your salary.

You will also be flexible, adaptable, embrace change and be motivated by new challenges.
The role requires an excellent work ethic, sales acumen combined with great listening skills in order to best advise customers of the courses to meet their specific goals. This means you will need to sell the benefits whilst ensuring the customer is going to achieve their goals with the solutions offered.
