As part of the UK’s leading executive search firm, we are always looking for the best people to join our business.
Every person in Berwick has a role to play.
We have built a successful business by recruiting excellent people; we take our time to hire the right individuals who demonstrate our values – from Graduate Researchers and Team Assistants, through to Consultants and Partners.
Whatever the job you do here, it will be important; and so are you.
We have a broad geographical presence with executive search offices in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
What makes Berwick different?
We believe we have a distinctive culture – whilst there will be expectations and objectives to deliver, we don’t manage by daily or weekly KPIs. We empower our employees to work autonomously; we provide the right environment that enables success for those who have the motivation, personal drive and tenacity to deliver results. And whilst results are important, maintaining the quality of what we do, and the robustness of our offering, is paramount.
- We provide a strong infrastructure and the right tools to our Consultants, from Researchers and PAs, to a dedicated marketing and events team.
- Each practice has a dynamic marketing and events programme which drives extensive business development activity.
- You will have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across the wider Odgers Berndtson Group, with access to the most senior of contacts.
- Our brand is synonymous with quality and rigour, and we have a reputation for managing the most exciting and unusual mandates.
If you would like to register your interest in working for us, we would be happy to hear from you. Please contact Jennie Green via LinkedIn or directly at jennie.green@berwickpartners.co.uk
Development
Each person is unique and encouraged to be the best they can be.
To be successful, organisations depend on talented individuals, teams and leaders. We are here to address that need, and our purpose at Berwick Partners is to help organisations transform and thrive through the talent we find.
It is also important that we continue to develop our own talent. And with that in mind, we offer an extensive learning & development programme.
For our Consultant community we offer:
- A Group induction and a three week pre-planned on-boarding programme
- A wide range of in-house ‘lunch & learns’ hosted by established Managers and Partners on topics which vary depending on demand. These are interactive discussions rather than training courses, and typically support the management of a retained search assignment, business development initiatives, and commercial or financial insights
- We utilise an exceptional external training provider – an ex-MD of a recruitment company – to deliver one and two-day courses on Business Development, Pitching to Win and Negotiation Skills
- We have created our own Principal Development Programme – for those who we believe have the potential to become our future Partners. This takes 12 months to complete and incorporates external leadership development, coaching, projects and business cases
- For those who have a specific need we will match you with a mentor who can provide you with individual, tailored support
- We have developed a transparent career ladder, highlighting the journey from Graduate Researcher through to Partner. This has allowed us to develop much of our own talent.
Berwick Consultants in numbers
- 50:50 male to female ratio
- 80% of our Partners have been promoted internally
- Less than 10% annual turnover in our Consultant population
For our support staff we offer:
- A Group induction and a three week pre-planned on-boarding programme

- Two away days each year

Team Assistants and PAs
Over recent years we have successfully trained and promoted 10 Team Assistants into PA positions, with 38% of our current team having started with us as Team Assistants. Some of those have taken on the PA support of our busiest and most senior Partners/Heads of Practice. We provide a unique opportunity for those seeking a career in executive support by offering un-paralleled training, mentorship, and support from a diverse and extremely experienced team of established PAs.
Researchers
Our research team supports the Consultants in identifying, engaging and delivering quality candidates for our clients.
The researcher career path enables you to develop your researcher skillset, gradually taking more ownership over the process and delivery of a search, and working closely with the consultants to deliver exceptional candidates for our clients. You will progress from Researcher, to Senior Researcher, to Principal Researcher.
We will support you each step of the way through your career journey, along whichever path you decide to take.
