Start your career in recruitment with a team that will invest in your success.
Simpson Judge is a specialist recruitment firm working across professional services - and our Legal division is growing fast. We're looking for ambitious, people-driven individuals to join us as Trainee Recruitment Consultants, with full training, hands-on mentoring, and real career progression from day one.

This is an ideal role if you're commercially minded, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are looking for a long-term career in recruitment.

• A confident, engaging personality and great communication skills
• Strong organisational skills and a keen eye for detail
• A desire to learn and push yourself in a sales-driven role
• Resilience and determination - recruitment has highs and lows, and you'll need to ride both
• A genuine interest in people and career development
