The training contract is a two-year fixed-term contract of employment.

If your online interview goes well, you will be invited to an Assessment Day at our Halifax office.During the event you will meet some of our current and past trainees, as well as key members of our team. You will be required to complete a written assessment, a group exercise, and an interview. Offers will be made shortly after the interviews have taken place, subject to references.
