• Be part of a supportive, forward-thinking team that values progression and development
• Clear pathway for career advancement and leadership opportunities
• High-quality work and strong regional and national client base

Additional Advantage

Welsh language skills are highly desirable, reflecting the firm's strong presence in Wales, although this is by no means essential.
