  • high level of IT skills, specifically excellent M/S Word, and good M/S Excel.
  • working confidently in a team and be self-motivated to work alone

We will offer you

We will offer a salary of £45,000 to £47,000 depending on experience for a full-time 36-hour week (will consider part-time, min 0.8 FTE) and double-matched pension contributions up to 10% max employer contribution.  We offer 30 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata) per year, excellent financial, health and social benefits and an opportunity to join a dedicated team making a difference to human health.  We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, therefore we work from our London office for part of the week with the option to work remotely for the remainder.
