**What can we do for you**
- Agile working allowing a mix of home and office working
- Flexible working arrangements _(depending on the role)_
- 27 days paid annual leave (pro rata if you are working part time) plus bank holidays and an extra two volunteering days off a year for you to support a charity of your choice
- Health cash plan giving you cash back on health, dental and eye care
