Birmingham City Centre | Full Time | On Site | Monday to Friday | 10:00am to 6:00pm

We’re growing across Birmingham and looking for people who want more than a standard entry level position. This opportunity is designed for individuals who want practical experience, a fast paced environment, supportive people around them, and a genuine route into leadership. You do not need years of experience. You need energy, reliability, and the mindset to learn.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Represent client campaigns through face to face customer engagement
  • Build relationships and create positive customer experiences
  • Support customer acquisition and brand growth initiatives
  • Learn sales communication and objection handling techniques

  • Full training and ongoing development
  • Structured mentorship and management support
  • Monday to Friday schedule only

  • Clear progression opportunities into leadership and management

Many people start here for experience and stay because they discover a long term career.
