  • This is a full-time role, with the possibility of discussing alternative working patterns such as four days a week or three very long days. The position is initially offered on a fixed-term contract, likely extending from 2025 through early 2026, with a slim chance of becoming permanent.
  • 25 days holiday, with the option to buy additional annual leave (if on a fixed-term contract).
  • The opportunity to work with a dedicated and supportive team in a role that offers variety, the chance to develop your skills, and the ability to make a positive impact on communities and improve lives.
