We are looking to recruit an ambitious, highly motivated, proactive individual to work alongside experienced consultants within our Benefits team. You will support the consultants in the delivery of our services, across all streams within the team, with a view to progression to a client oversight role, responsible for a portfolio of corporate clients.

As an intermediary between the business (and its clients) this role offers the opportunity to meet (virtually / face to face) a number of different people and providers; explore different business/client needs and support consultants in the delivery of first-class delivery for clients. With that in mind, a successful candidate will have good communication skills (written, visual, presentational and personal) as well as a proactive approach, with the ability to take the initiative and quickly learn and adapt to changing challenges and opportunities from client to client.
