· Pension: Pension contributions: 3% employer’s and 5% employee’s contribution (employees can contribute more if they wish)

This internship is full time (40 hours a week), five days per week for a six-month period, with an initial one-month probation. Our intern will be given regular reviews to track progress and a formal assessment after 1 and 3 months.

Flexible working location

Our staff have the choice about whether to work from home in the UK or from our office in Tooting, SW London, or a mixture of both, during regular operational hours. If working from home, staff must have a working environment suitable for holding video-call meetings with clients.

Wherever you work, you will interact regularly with senior team members to gain new skills and exchange ideas.
