Some of the qualities that we look for include:

Sound judgement and the confidence to make decisions and take responsibility for them

Intrinsic motivation and a genuine passion for excellence

Integrity: Strong personal values. To protect our clients' interests preference must go to those without criminal records.

Willingness and ability to learn: We will be patient with your weaknesses if you show us that you are striving to improve them. We also want to see that you are keen to take on new challenges and that you keep up to date with relevant changes in technology, business, and the marketplace.

A team player: The ability to work with a diverse range of clients and colleagues; loyalty to the team; the ability to follow procedures.

Professionalism and reliability: Life rarely provides ideal circumstances; you must focus on desired outcomes, avoiding distractions and view challenges as temporary setbacks not excuses.

Initiative and an eye for continuous improvement: We accept that every business has room for improvement, yes, even Southridge, and we value your ideas.

A positive attitude: A cheerful disposition is ideal, but we'll settle for a good sense of humour!

English language proficiency: All staff must have high level spoken and written English in addition to local languages.

Broad cross-industry and international experience: SRS value disparate experience and additional language skills, as you may be able to better serve clients from those industries and areas.

Attention to Detail

What we offer you:

It’s a cliché but it’s true – our people are our most valuable asset. We really do appreciate your contribution to the Southridge Solutions team, and we want you to enjoy the work as much as we do.

Recognition, flexible rewards and profit sharing: We believe in rewarding you for supporting the team and for each successful goal you help to accomplish, and we are willing to treat you as a partner in selecting your rewards.

Flexible working hours: You may be a student, a part time volunteer, or you may be caring for children or elderly parents. Even if you just want to work non-standard hours to suit your lifestyle, or start and finish 15 minutes early because of your bus timetable, we will be happy to discuss your options.

Career progression: You may be interested in facing new and greater challenges as your proficiency increases, moving to leadership positions, or even in moving laterally to try a different role. Let us know and we will help you to build your experience in your desired areas. To maximise your opportunities we have a policy of promoting from within whenever possible.

Job security: The ‘Titanic’ ploughed into that fatal iceberg at an unnecessarily dangerous speed despite poor visibility and knowledge that icebergs were in the area; they took extreme action but sadly it was too little, too late. Too many employers do the same thing when confronted by change in the marketplace that could have been foreseen and fire large numbers of competent, loyal staff because management was not planning far enough ahead. We aim to forecast developments that may affect our business years in advance. This means that we can usually prepare for storms before they hit, and take early action to protect our staff.

Respect: Southridge Solutions treat you as a valued professional and we usually find that respect is returned.

A great team! You spend so much of your life at work that it makes sense to work with a friendly, energetic and supportive team. We love to put on social events for our staff and their families. We also field a team, “The Southridge Solution”, in public events that raise funds and awareness for different charities and foster the team spirit and general health of our staff.

What now?
