You may, with reasonable notice, be required to provide cover across other services within the organisation.

Benefits

The role offers a workplace pension scheme, 22 days' annual leave plus statutory bank holidays, increasing to 25 days after three years' service, and company sick pay following 12 months' continuous service.
