Description

BEFORE WE BEGIN...

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS:

We won't make you jump through hoops or present to the Board - we prefer to keep things simple.

We have a relaxed approach to getting to know each other - an initial chat to talk through your CV, followed by a more structured interview with the line manager you'll be working with.

We are being interviewed just as much as you, so we welcome your questions
