Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you may need.

We have a number of different opportunities open in our HR team at the moment, with a mixture of permanent and fixed term contracts available. We will consider you for the role you’ve applied for in the first instance, but may consider you for other opportunities if you look to have the relevant experience. We’ll make you aware if we are considering you for other roles, providing the details to allow you to decide whether you wish to pursue an application.
