What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary of £45,585 to £46,974 per annum, with potential progression when in post to £54,395 per annum. Internal candidates already within the salary banding will remain on their current spinal point as per policy. Flexible working patterns will be considered, and a hybrid working pattern can be adopted for this role, where the successful candidate can work from home and the office.
