You will play a pivotal part in ensuring consistency this is tough and requires an exacting eye for detail and diplomatic communication with our team. You will be meticulous about standards and relentless in your pursuit of excellence, this will cascade to your team.

You will have an aptitude for process design, even if you haven’t built a depth of experience yet.

Automation will pave the way for us to grow in an efficient manner. You will be tech orientated and obsessed with finding ways to decrease work whilst increasing output.

HR will be part of your role and you will be expected to support your team and provide constructive feedback to enable progression. We are very proud of the experience and culture in the Battersea branch and we expect you to build the team's trust quickly and help them all develop personally to enable them to deliver our growth.
