  • Ability to work effectively within a team while managing your own workload.
  • A flexible approach with the ability to adapt to changing priorities.

Following successful completion of training, you'll move to a hybrid working model, attending the Belfast office as required to meet operational needs.

Please note:

Annual leave is restricted during the training period.
