Vacancy for Trainee Recruitment Consultant

I've heard from Enterprise Recruitment Ltd, a Berkhamsted-based company who place new employees with businesses in the electronics and engineering sector. They are expanding and are  looking to grow the team at trainee/entry-level.
They are advertising for a Trainee Recruitment Sales Consultant, this vacancy might suit students who have achieved A levels/equivalent or above (or will next summer), or graduates or students due to graduate next summer.  Starting date could be between now and next summer.

This could appeal to former students of Cavendish, or those leaving Sixth Form in summer 2014 who are not aiming for uni (or want to defer that decision).
