Location
This role is linked to our Peterborough office; however, we offer a highly flexible, predominantly remote working arrangement. While occasional visits to Peterborough may be required, the role will primarily involve working from home.
From time to time, you'll be required to travel to other business locations across the UK to support stakeholders, attend meetings, and collaborate with colleagues. As a result, candidates will need to be comfortable with occasional travel and hold a full UK driving licence. Overnight stays may occasionally be required.
