Most desired skills / Ideal candidate

The ideal candidate is someone who likes interacting with people, is altruistic, gaining real satisfaction from helping people. Our customers, parents and students, go through a lot of stress, difficulties surrounding their medical school applications. The best candidate will be someone who can communicate with them, showing warmth, empathy and clear communication. A persuasive speaker who is also conscientious with the details and who wants to have a role with independence and responsibility would be ideal.

What will the role be like:

We are a team made of Doctors and Dentists, who work hard but also enjoy a friendly atmosphere in the office. We relax with our music, dartboard and drinks in the office to enjoy some downtime together. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with others and is keen to be part of a start-up environment.

This will suit an individual who is independent and driven to expand their career in a senior assistant role or a management role. The company is growing fast, and as such, more senior assistant positions will become available as well as managerial positions in many parts of the company. We are not hierarchical, and everyone is welcomed to participate in strategy discussion and ideas for growth.

The person with this role up until now has now been promoted to manager.

You will receive direct training from the CEO, the operations and talent development manager and the client experience manager. The workload is very varied, and you have opportunities to take initiatives. We love enthusiasm, and individuals keen to learn and develop themselves.

What we offer

• A lovely working environment in the hear of London
• A very friendly team (4 full time at the moment & 20 teachers/part-time)
• Flexible hours and schedule as needed
• Competitive remuneration
• A dynamic start-up environment with lots of training opportunity with the leadership team
• A chance to help students and families with their education and career development

We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible. We will thus give priority to early applications and will close the advert as soon as a suitable candidate has been found.
