Quick Release provides hands-on experience of complex, positive-impact projects, together with fast-paced training, mentoring, and a caring company culture that promotes flexibility, fulfillment and work-life balance.

This intake isn't just for recent graduates. We genuinely welcome applicants with all levels of experience on the team. So, whether you've just finished uni, you're returning to work after time out, or you're looking for a new challenge in a new sector, the ongoing growth of our team means we have lots of opportunities to start your training as soon as you're ready!

There is no need to apply for more than one location opening as we will assess your location preferences against those you select in the application form.

We usually hire for Graduate roles three months in advance of the intake date. We do expect to have regular intakes throughout 2024, so if you are looking for a later start date we would still welcome your application now, and if you successfully complete the process we will typically make any offers three months prior to when you are looking to start.

Whilst we understand the use of this kind of technology to assist with applications, it's worth noting that answers copied directly from AI tend to come across very generic and detract from the quality of applications.
