Experience of working to multiple deadlines and within budget are key to this role.

If you have the skills and experience to help us deliver our work, we'd love to hear from you. This is a diverse role, so it may be that you are much stronger in some areas than in others. If this is the case we would still like to hear from you so please contact us for more information or an initial discussion.
