There is a lot of potential within our group for someone ambitious that would like to grow. It’s a great time to get into Telecomms and we are excited to bring more positive people into the fold.   
   
We might have a rural location which is gorgeous to work in, but it's also really easy to get to! Public transport has a bus and train from Canterbury stop practically at our front door.

We always want to talk to people who really want to work with us so drop us a line and have a chat with our friendly recruitment reps who would be happy to talk through our opportunities.
