Location-Specific Information
The post is full time and based at our Grizedale office, Cumbria, with blended working opportunities. It is fixed term until the end of March 2029.
The duties of this post will require the applicant to sometimes travel to remote locations that are not accessible by public transport. You will therefore need to hold a full and current driving licence that enables you to drive in the UK and be willing to stay away from home. We are willing to consider any proposals put forward by applicants that would allow them to do the job by other means.
