Many of our team have moved through multiple promotions since joining. 100% of eligible staff completed four-day training on the Procurement Act 2023 because we believe every person in the business should understand the landscape we operate in.
Public sector recruitment roles don’t always come with a sense of purpose, but at Inprova they do. Everything we do supports public sector organisations to deliver better services. Your work contributes directly to how schools maintain their buildings, how hospitals manage their estates, how councils evidence best value, and how housing organisations keep people safe in their homes. That connection between effort and impact is something our team consistently tells us they value.
Inprova is ambitious and fast-paced. We’re growing our team, expanding into new sectors, and investing in technology. That means new challenges, new opportunities, and the kind of variety that keeps work interesting. You won’t be doing the same thing every day, and you’ll gain exposure to projects and decisions that stretch you.
