• Business Growth: Helping us grow our project and client pipeline through research, emails, and phone calls. 📈
• Client Relationship Management: Supporting existing client needs and helping us keep those relationships solid.
• Account Management Support: Assisting with managing key client accounts and spotting chances for future work.

What we're looking for (skills that will impress us!):

• Data & Document Savvy: You don't mind working with information and paperwork.
• Growth Mindset: You're keen to support a business that's on the up and up! 🌱
• Confidentiality: You can handle sensitive information with discretion. 🤫

This is a work-based learning apprenticeship, meaning you'll be earning while you're learning, with a practitioner visiting you at work. Let's build something amazing together! ✨
