A competitive salary (Pay Award Pending), generous annual leave entitlement, the opportunity for hybrid working, Local Government Pension Scheme, work life balance policies, and support for your personal development are just some of the benefits we offer.

The successful applicant will be required to undergo security checks as part of the Baseline Personnel Security Standard for accessing Government records.
