Consultant – Careers Transition Partnership Applicants

Are you currently looking for a new career in a dynamic and exciting business which won’t leave you stuck in an office 5 days a week? If so, we would like to hear from you. We are currently recruiting for Consultants who have previous military experience, with a salary starting between £27,000 to £35,000 (dependent on relatable experience and qualifications) + car + commission.

The role

We are looking for people that are leaving the military to join our company and work with our enviable customer base of world-renowned organisations. With our fully mentored training programme, the role gives you the ability to use your knowledge and experience in an advisory capacity and the time to build rapport with our customers.

Assurity Consulting is an independent health, safety and environmental consultancy, based in Horsham for over 35 years. This role allows you to have a ‘Sussex based’ lifestyle with the freedom to travel throughout the UK and abroad. You will also have flexibility in the role and be in control of planning your working schedule too.

The employment package includes the following benefits;

• A fully expensed company car;
• Private healthcare;
• A pension scheme;
• Up to 28 days paid annual leave plus bank holidays;
• Profit share; and
• Laptop/mobile phone.

The role supports personal development and could lead into people management, large contract management and/or furthering technical skills, knowledge, and qualifications. As a Consultant you will:

• Service, deliver and sell our health, safety and environmental solutions to our customers;
• Maintain and develop relationships with customers and prospects and actively pursue new business;
• Split your time across three areas: account management, technical aptitude and business development/sales;
• Have flexibility in the role and be in control of planning your working schedule too.

Experience and personal attributes required

You will need to:

• Use your natural enthusiasm and talk positively when facing new challenges and meeting new people;
• Be able to empathise with our customers, appreciating our customers’ expertise and experience and where you can provide solutions and advice to help them;
• Have the ability to work in collaboration with your colleagues who have differing levels of experience and knowledge and to be willing to learn and constructively share experiences with them; and
• Have experience in presenting information to groups of people concisely and have experience in ‘selling’ ideas and concepts to other people.

Education, qualification and skills

• Qualified to NEBOSH Health and Safety General Certificate or equivalent is desirable but not essential.
• A degree or an equivalent level 5 or 6 qualification is desirable but not essential.
• A proven ability to undertake self-directed learning.
• A good level of verbal and written communication as the role requires writing reports in plain English.
• The innate ability to be able to build rapport with people and sell our ideas and concepts and enlist our services to make their workplace safer.
• The ability to understand concepts and be able to relate them to different circumstances and explain them to others clearly and concisely.
• Resilience and flexibility.
• Good interpersonal skills, enthusiasm and self-motivation.
• The ability to effectively manage your time and organise and prioritise work.

Considerations

The role will include extensive travel on a frequent basis, so you will ideally live within a 45-minute drive of Horsham, West Sussex and you must hold a full UK driving licence. Flexibility in working hours is essential as this is not a 9-5 based role. There will also be occasions where you will need to stay in hotels expensed by the company due to travelling around the UK or abroad.
