They’re based in Leeds but given the pandemic are all working remotely and are happy to be flexible as and when it’s safe to return to the office, so you may be based in the North East or North West or further afield and able to get to Leeds just a couple of days a week.

Benefits include 25 days holiday + Christmas week off, profile share and BUPA healthcare.
