Following a screen with the Recruitment Team you can expect a two-stage interview process, one online and one in-person.

What are the benefits?
You can read about the benefits on offer here

*Important* BPSS Check

As part of our recruitment process due to the nature of the work we do, all employees are required to undertake a Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS) check. While some employees require further security clearance, the BPSS check is a must-have requirement and all offers of employment are conditional pending the passing of this check.

Have you made it this far?
If you're still reading, we think there's a strong chance you might be our kind of person.
Here's the thing, though - research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented people might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don't check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself.
We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger - and the stronger our team, the more successful we will be.
