The role is based in the Midlands, though a large number of staff currently works remotely and will continue to do so following the pandemic. This means that there is only a rare requirement to be present in the office.

With a focus on change and improvement, this is an exciting time to join the organisation, and a number of contractors have enjoyed lengthy extensions from their initial contracts.
