Assessment centres are designed to test candidates’ skills through a combination of activities to assess their suitability for the job they are applying for. They give candidates the chance to demonstrate a range of skills. They are also a two-way process for you to find out more about the company and the role you are applying for. Our assessment centres may be online on Microsoft Teams or face to face in one of our offices: Lisburn (NI), Peterborough, Bury St Edmunds and St Neots.

All our assessment centres begin with a warm welcome and introductions to the assessors and other candidates. A member of the Senior Leadership Team will join us for part of the session to give an overview of the company, including our history, where we are currently and our future plans.
Activities may vary but will typically include an Icebreaker activity which is an informal activity that will not be scored and is designed to help everyone get to know each other and feel comfortable!
There will also be group activities where you will work with other candidates on your assessment centre. Candidates are fully briefed on each activity on the day and we always give plenty of time to read and digest the information before starting an activity. There may also be interviews and presentations during an assessment centre.
We have 4 office locations across the UK including:
