A position that will take your development further
We are seeking two students to join our team and work with colleagues across departments and external stakeholders. Your primary role will be to support the implementation of a new system for third-party risk and ESG assessment. We’re looking for someone who understands systems and processes, enjoys working with data, and is enthusiastic about sustainability. As part of our Sustainable Procurement and Premises team, you will contribute to developing tools and processes that enhance transparency and sustainability in our supply chain, ensure the quality of environmental data, and support workplace services projects across the organisation.

Your main tasks will be:
