Our client is a family with a diverse workforce, and are dedicated to the personal professional growth of their people, no matter what stage of their career they're at.

They also offer private healthcare, discounted green travel, 24 days holiday (with an additional discretionary day given by the company) with options to buy/sell days, enhanced family leave and four volunteering days per year so you can make an impact somewhere else.
The role
