We expect team members to be present in the office 3–4 days per week, particularly during the initial months of employment to support onboarding and training. If you are currently based outside of County Dublin, we encourage you to consider the potential need for relocation or a manageable commute to ensure regular office attendance.

We encourage interested candidates to submit their applications by Monday, 20th October 2025. Please note that this deadline may be extended depending on the volume of applications received. To ensure your application is considered, we recommend applying as early as possible.

Our selection process is designed to be fair, transparent, and engaging. It typically includes the following steps:

1. Online Assessment – Candidates will be invited to complete an online assessment during the first week of November 2025.
2. In-Person Assessment Centre – Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an in-person assessment day at our Dublin office, expected to take place towards the end of November or in the first half of December.

Please note that physical attendance at the Assessment Centre is required to be considered for the Graduate Programme. We aim to keep all candidates informed throughout the process and are committed to providing a positive and inclusive experience. If you require any adjustments or accommodations, please let us know—we’re here to support you.
