• Contract: Full-time, permanent
• Benefits: Life Assurance, Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), Training Budget, 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
• This is a supportive role in a friendly, mission-driven organisation where your work will make a tangible difference. You’ll help us get smarter with our data, enabling the charity to focus more resources on the people and causes we support.
