Are you facing redundancy or an uncertain future? Or maybe the pandemic has prompted you to look for a change of direction in your career? Whatever your situation, the Belbin report – which enables you to understand your behavioural strengths and weaknesses in the workplace – will help you find and secure the opportunity that's right for you.

Ahead of the online recruitment event, attendees will receive a link to complete a Belbin report, usually £42 each, but offered free to attendees on this occasion.
