Location

This role is based in our Coventry office, fostering teamwork and innovation.

Benefits

• 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, with options to buy or sell days
• Annual bonus scheme (up to £2,250, subject to company performance)
• Enhanced pension scheme—double your contributions up to 15%
• Sharesave scheme at a discount
• 10% monthly discount with Busy Bee Nurseries, including free childcare for one week
