Hours and Location
The position is for a full time member of our team, 37.5 hours per week; 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Collaboration is one of our four company values - we work best together. We believe there is significant benefit from working face to face when doing so. At the same time, some work may be carried out just as effectively alone and away from the office. We have therefore created a flexible ‘place of work’ policy that asks everyone to be where the work of the day is best completed and overall spend enough time in the office with others to maintain relationships and communication.This means there are no fixed days, or number of days, when you should be in the office or can work at home. In any given week you may need to work from the office everyday or no days! It all depends on the work being done and you are expected to be flexible. Many people find this approach means they work in the office 3 or more days a week but this varies according to role and the work they have to do.
This role involves occasional travel.
You must be eligible to live and work in the UK. This role is not eligible for sponsorship by Mayden for a skilled worker visa. We are therefore unable to accept applications from individuals who would require an employer to sponsor them for a work permit.
How to apply
Please upload your CV and a covering letter describing your interest in the role and sharing a little about what you would bring to the team and to Mayden. We look forward to hearing from you!
