We're recruiting for an exciting Business Support Graduate opportunity with an ambitious, forward-thinking organisation based in Darlington. This is perfect for a bright, curious and motivated graduate who wants to learn how a business really works before deciding where they ultimately want to specialise. You'll spend time supporting different teams and departments, getting involved in projects, learning from experienced colleagues and gaining exposure to a variety of areas across the organisation. Think of yourself as a sponge. Your job initially is to absorb as much as possible, ask questions, get involved and discover where your strengths and interests lie.

Over time, the aim is for you to find the area that really suits you and develop your career in that direction.

Your role will be varied and could include:

Providing administrative and organisational support across different teams

Supporting projects and wider business initiatives

Coordinating meetings, diaries, activities and deadlines

Preparing reports, documents and presentations

Keeping systems and information organised and up to date

Working with colleagues and stakeholders across the business

Getting involved in ad hoc projects and new initiatives

Taking on more responsibility as your knowledge and confidence grow

This role is all about attitude and potential. We're looking for someone who is:

Bright, curious and eager to learn

Ambitious and hungry to develop

Positive, personable and confident

Organised with great attention to detail

Proactive and happy to get stuck in

Comfortable communicating with people at all levels

Excited by the opportunity to experience different areas of a business

You don't need to have your whole career mapped out. In fact, that's exactly what this opportunity is designed to help you discover. You'll be joining an exciting organisation offering:

Exposure to a variety of teams and departments

Fantastic learning and development

Real responsibility from an early stage

Hybrid working

Excellent company benefits

A supportive and collaborative culture

The opportunity to shape your future career and ultimately specialise in an area that plays to your strengths

Start broad. Learn everything. Find your direction.

If you're a graduate who is ambitious, naturally curious and keen to soak up as much experience as possible, we'd love to hear from you.
