Job Details
- This is a hybrid working role, based in the office 3 days per week (strictly – no room for negotiation) and 2 days from home.
- This is an inside IR35 role so candidates will not be able to use a Limited Company. Umbrella or our agency PAYE will be possible and we believe a gross umbrella figure around £50–£65 p/h will be available – based on level of experience and suitability.
- Candidates will require existing eligibility to work in the UK as no sponsorship is available and they must be able to obtain basic (BPSS) level security clearance.
