With an enviable portfolio of blue-chip clients our consultants are engaged on some of the most interesting and high-profile projects taking place in the UK right now. We have clients from a range of industry sectors including financial services, new media, hospitality and telecommunications amongst others.

There are real benefits in working for a niche organisation like Acutest composed of like-minded individuals. It's not just about the day to day work; there is a real community feel about Acutest. Unlike in larger consultancies, we are not in competition with our peers so we can really rely on each other for knowledge share and support, and there are lots of opportunities to socialise, learn and share experiences. We are a close-knit community of consultants built on mutual respect, creating a shared learning environment for all. Your colleagues go out of their way to support you so that you will never feel like just a number.

We believe in providing our people with lifelong learning by focus on training and development. Our training programme is tailored to fit each individual need and is supported by a Training Manager (who concentrates on the testing and technical aspect of your skills development) and a Development Manager (who concentrates on development and fulfilling your potential).

We are also a sociable bunch and get together regularly for professional development and social events.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive Salary

• 23 days’ holiday (rising to 27) with the opportunity to buy extra leave

• The opportunity to take a paid day out of the office, volunteering for our charity partners or a cause of your choice

• Company matched pension, life assurance, a cycle2work scheme, 15 weeks’ fully paid maternity, adoption and shared parental leave, paternity pay of two weeks…and plenty more

• Voluntary benefits designed to suit your lifestyle – from discounts on retail and socialising, to health & wellbeing, travel and technology
