Full Time
Hybrid

Job description

Location: London WC1H. Based in the heart of Bloomsbury, this position is easily commutable via Euston Square, King’s Cross, and Russell Square stations.

Hybrid Working: For office-based roles, a hybrid working pattern may be possible, typically 3 days in the office and 2 days working remotely, in accordance with the team and organisation needs. Hybrid working will be supported wherever possible and is dependent on the postholder having a safe, secure, and effective remote working environment. Where this cannot be accommodated, the role will be office-based.
