Professional Training Programme at Charterhouse Group International

What do you need?

Ambition - keen to achieve success personally for the organisation and customers. This means embracing personal development and having a positive attitude towards change and organisational development.

Potential - to achieve a senior management or specialist role in the longer term. To identify this potential we will look for evidence of intellectual and practical ability in the following:

  • Seeing the ' big picture' - we expect you to quickly analyse information and situations and see the 'bigger picture'. For example, understanding our clients' needs and the Group's role in meeting them; being able to think ahead about how services could be developed, and the ability to think creatively about solutions to problems.
  • Numeracy - to be able to interpret figures accurately (on occasions this may involve large volumes of numerical data), be able to conduct basic arithmetic calculations accurately, and present numerical data to others in a way they can understand. Grade A -C GCSE Maths or equivalent is desirable.
  • Literacy - be able to write clearly, concisely and to adapt your style for various purposes (e.g. letters, advertisements or reports for decision makers). Grade A -C GCSE English or equivalent is desirable.
  • IT champion - we will expect you to champion the use of IT to increase the efficiency of the Group's operations. You must be a confident user of Windows based applications and spreadsheets.
  • Communication - you must be able to communicate effectively and exert influence in a variety of contexts. This includes dealing courteously with customers and colleagues, being able to present your case articulately 'one- to-one', in meetings or via presentations to groups.
  • Be a flexible team player - we want you to be prepared to take the lead, and equally be prepared to take instructions and show respect for others. Trainees are encouraged to contribute to development projects across the whole organisation.
