Things to consider

The office is based in a location where there is very limited public transport, so the ideal candidate would need to have thought about how they would get to work. Driving licence with access to a vehicle would be advisable but not essential.

Although the candidate will be based at our clients HQ, the role will be peripatetic; therefore, the successful candidate may be expected to travel depending on the needs of the business
