Our office is in Dundee but, during COVID-19, home based working was the norm. Since restrictions have begun to be lifted we now encourage remote working and support a less office-based format. We are developing our agile working policy and are happy to discuss individual arrangements and consider agile working as an option, depending on job requirements (such as being in the office for training events and meetings etc) and meeting the eligibility criteria determined by the new policy. We welcome applications from candidates outside Dundee and the surrounding areas.

Please apply by 8am on 27 June 2022. We expect to hold interviews in the week commencing 11 July 2022.
