Project Manager: Workplace Learning
£22,000 - £35,000 plus benefits depending on experience
Who are Webanywhere?
Not content with being one of the UK’s leading elearning companies and the fastest growing IT company in West Yorkshire, we are ambitious in entering new markets with new products and in new territories. Most companies would do just one, we are doing all three.
On the surface, we supply cutting edge software services into the Education and Corporate markets. Dig deeper though and you will find a family-run business with high expectations and even bigger ambition.
What does “Stretch Beyond” mean?
Our tagline is “Stretch Beyond”- this is the adage by which Webanywhere lives and breathes.
For us it’s a reminder of what we are achieving, that we are proud to punch above our weight and that a young organization like ours can upset the status quo. We stretch boundaries, potential, aspirations and expectations.
For you, it means we only look for staff who are willing to go the extra mile for customers, don’t limit their own career development, are dedicated to learning both in work and in their own time and work longer and harder than our competitors.
