We have introduced a hybrid working policy to provide greater flexibility for part-time work, job-sharing, remote working, and flexibility on hours. Our people are encouraged to work in a flexible way that suits their lifestyle, so please ask the question and start a conversation!

If you think you would be a good match for this role and can demonstrate some transferable experience, please apply, regardless of whether you tick every box. Reasonable Adjustments: We're an equal opportunities employer and want to ensure our recruitment process is accessible and inclusive for all. If you require reasonable adjustment(s) at any stage, please let us know by emailing us at careers@sjp.co.uk. What's next? Our team will be in touch. As a business regulated by the FCA, we would advise you to familiarise yourself with the conduct regulations and in particular consumer duty obligations prior to an interview with SJP.
