This is a full time, employed role; 35-40 hours per week

We’re offering a salary of £22-24k, dependent on your hours and experience

This role can be remote-first – for which you’ll need to have a good work from home setup. If you’d prefer to work from the office or split your time between the two, we’re based in central London, and you’re welcome as often as you’d like

We’ll provide you with the equipment and training you need to do your job, but it will help you to have access to a computer and webcam for the interview process
