This is a part-time (21 hours per week), fixed-term contract for 18 months starting from September 2024, subject to availability of funding and review.

In return, you can expect exceptional career satisfaction, plus an excellent package of benefits, including hybrid and flexible working, 25 days’ holiday rising to 30 days after five years (pro rata for part-time), a 3% pension contribution, a comprehensive employee assistance programme, and a cycle-to-work scheme.
