Please do upload the following on to the portal when you are applying:

• A copy of your passport and if required your share code and date of birth. We need to have evidence that you are eligible to work in the UK.
  

Please note: Applications will not be put forward if the above are missing.

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.

• 
  
• life assurance
  
• private health insurance
  
• pension (enhanced after successful completion of probation)
  
• personal training and conference budget
  
• onsite gym
  
• parking, including EV charging points

Full and part time workers will be considered. This role is based in our Bath office and you must be located (or be able to relocate) to within a reasonable commuting distance.

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 every day 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.

We will review applications as they arrive and this role will therefore close upon receipt of applications reaching our limit or making a successful offer to a candidate.

Please note that successful applicants will be asked to complete a basic DBS check as part of their onboarding process. These checks are processed by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and will be paid for by Mayden. The need for DBS screening follows requirements from our customers and NHS England.
