We are not looking for somebody to fill a seat, but an individual to compliment the existing operation and grow with the company. It is a relaxed environment so casual office attire is appropriate.
The starting salary will be £22,500 p/a (pro rata if applicants wish to work less hours), with the potential to rise to £25,000 p/a after completing a satisfactory probation period.
There is an immediate start available, but the customer is prepared to wait for the right candidate if a notice period needs to be served. We are looking for a committed individual who ls looking for a long term position rather than a stop gap. Please consider this before applying.
