The work is full time and primarily office-based, although the successful candidate may need to attend external meetings, residential training courses and trading sites at short notice. Due to the nature of the role, flexibility in terms of working extra hours and staying away will be required.

 

There will also be opportunities to become involved in achieving the objectives of the wider department, such as having an involvement in other projects and training initiatives.
