Location

Cardiff (our contractual base), with an element of working from home. Please read on for further information related to the working 'location' for this role.

The postholder will be based out of our Cardiff office, with an element of working from home. This role involves face-to-face delivery throughout Wales, so extensive travel is to be expected. As the successful candidate's contractual base will be the Cardiff office, travel to and from this location cannot be claimed as an expense. Travel expenses to locations outside of Cardiff will be paid in line with the Acas Expenses Policy.

If you have any questions about how travel expenses are reimbursed, please contact [email protected].

Please be aware that this role can only be worked in Great Britain and not overseas. You will be asked to express a location preference during the application process - there is only one choice - Cardiff. Informal hybrid arrangements are available and the balance between home and workplace working is to be agreed with the line manager to achieve the right balance between collaboration, in-person engagement and flexibility.

The post holder will be required to hold a UK driving licence and access to a car; exceptions to this requirement will be considered where Reasonable Adjustments are required.
