Work in a way that works for you  

We recognise that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:  

• Hybrid working– as we really value the collaboration that working from the office brings, we try to spend slightly more time working from the office together, than we do working from home. This is typically a 3-2 split in favour of the office but we can discuss individual requirements
• Working flexible hours – we are flexible about your start times and end times each day
• Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs

Working with us  

Wherever you work, we want you to experience the freedom and autonomy to realise your potential. You will feel supported by a team that celebrates individuality, encourages different perspectives, and embraces every background.
