Overview

Why Moorhouse?

We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change. We make sure our clients succeed in their long-term goals by helping them turn their strategy into action through exceptional delivery and a commitment to establishing a culture of change. Clients like what we do and how we work, and we are looking for people to join the Moorhouse team.

We pride ourselves in being proactive, collaborative, and straightforward team players. We like to move fast as a team and both honesty and integrity are key to this. In return you will be part of a supportive and high-performing team that shares the workload, looks after each other and celebrates success together. You can be assured of an exciting opportunity that will stretch you and equip you with skills, experience and knowledge that can help organisations respond to the turbulence, change and opportunity that will define the future of work. We don't do politics, egos, or personal agendas - it consumes too much time and distracts us from being successful together.

Over the last three years Moorhouse has extended its reach into the Performance Improvement (PI) space. The growth in PI clients for Moorhouse has been a result of clients wanting to reduce costs, drive productivity, improve customer experience and optimise the employee practices. They are interested in understanding their pain points and working in a truly collaborative way to deliver step change process improvements. We work with our clients to embed Lean ways of working into the culture of their firm and using our team of PI professionals; we work to up-skill our clients through eLearning journeys, training, and face to face coaching. This means our clients can continue to operate better, faster, and more cost-effectively than they did before they worked with Moorhouse. This demand on our service means we are seeking to recruit a PI Senior Consultant with operational excellence experience to bolster our current team and to play a role in the leadership and growth of our offering.
