Key Information

Interview date: To be confirmed

Job share and flexible working patterns will be considered. It is anticipated that a hybrid working pattern can be adopted for this role, where the successful candidate can work from home and the office. However, as this role is contractually aligned to our Edinburgh office, it is expected that some attendance in the office will be required when necessary and in response to business needs. We'd expect this to be approximately once a month.

Full-time starting salary is £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.

Early closing date notification

We may close this job advert earlier than the published closing date where a satisfactory number of applications are received. We would therefore encourage early applications.

To apply for this role, please submit the following:

CV and Supporting Statement, up to 1,000 words. You should set out in your statement why you're interested in this role and provide examples of where your skills and experience meet the required competencies for this role as detailed in the above essential and desirable criteria.
