Counter teams are formed for our clients by deploying a Counter Tech Lead to work within the client’s organisation in order to hire appropriate team members from graduate and professional communities and then to work in collaboration with them directly on the clients projects. Providing support, extra training and all the guidance to fast-track the individuals' journey within that organisation. 

For this engagement, Counter has been contracted to provide a team and will support a 

Government Department. 

The Consultant successful applicants will be offered a flexible fixed term contract by Counter. At the end of that period, you may be given the opportunity to apply for full time roles at the client site.
