Accounts Assistant – Graduate Entry Position

At Abacus we really enjoy working with our clients, but the truth is, we love working with some clients a little more!  It’s the case with this client.  Its not because they are a tremendous local success story using ‘tech for good’, its not because the leadership are truly passionate and engaged with the workforce, its not even because they have a strong history of supporting and developing their people.  Its because what they do is really life-changing, they help children, young people and those who have not had access to resources improve their prospects through education.
