Have access to a computer (laptop or PC) to undertake the initial on-line assessment and to submit on-going coursework. Have been resident in the UK for at least 3 years. Be comfortable with travelling to and from the group training sessions in Newport Pagnell. We will endeavour to facilitate a lift for you, however, there may be occasions when you will need to make your own way to and from these sessions. We will pay for the costs of buses and/or trains for you.

We will need to obtain suitable references and an enhanced DBS check for suitable applicants prior to employment commencing. You will also need to evidence your right to work in the UK and, if you hold maths and English qualifications, you will need to evidence these qualifications too. If your application is successful, our Recruitment and Compliance Team will be there to support you through our onboarding process, every step of the way.
