Part Time (0.6FTE/22 hours), Fixed Term Contract until April 2025
Closing Date :
2 April, 2024 - 12:00
Interview date: w/c 22nd April 2024.
Flexible working patterns will be considered.
It is anticipated that a hybrid working pattern can be adopted for this role, where the successful candidate can work from home and the office. However, as this role is contractually aligned to our Milton Keynes office it is expected that some attendance in the office will be required when necessary and in response to business needs. We’d expect this to be no more than once a month.
Full time starting salary is £30,487 to £31,396 per annum (pro rata), with potential progression when in post to £36,024 per annum depending on the length of contract.
Internal candidates already within the salary banding will remain on their current spinal point as per policy.
