A varied and exciting role for someone comfortable in a public-facing organisation.

This role will be subject to pre-employment screening and security vetting. The role is offered on a hybrid basis, with 2-3 days/week onsite, and as a fixed term contract (FTC) until April 2025 when the role may well become permanent following current restructuring.
