We believe our people are our greatest asset, and we're committed to creating a positive, supportive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and enjoy what they do.

The Good Stuff for You:

Salary £34,500 per annum

Uniform provided and laundered

Time off during Christmas each year

30 days holiday including bank holidays

Paid birthday day off each year

Employee discount platform - save on travel, gym memberships, refurbished tech and more
