We're seeking SC cleared Project Managers in London to help us take vision to value and create lasting impact. This is an affiliate role at North Highland supporting a central government client on an approximate 12 month basis, hybrid and inside IR35 (PAYE) via an umbrella company.
If you have expired SC then please still apply so you can be considered for alternate affiliate roles where current SC isn't required and enhanced DBS would be the case instead.
