Job Type: Full-time

Benefits:

• Company events
• Company pension
• Discounted or free food
• Employee discount
• On-site parking

Application question(s):

• What is your current salary and benefits package?
• What is your expected salary and benefits package?
• Do you have the right to work in the UK? (Unfortunately we do not accept Visa sponsorship at this time)
• Why would you like to work with us?
• Do you have any unspent criminal convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974? Telling us about a criminal record may not necessarily prevent you from being offered a job, as we may consider the type of offence, the time since it happened, your age at the time and any other relevant factors when we make a decision on whether to offer you a job. What is a spent criminal conviction? Some criminal convictions can become 'spent' after a set length of time from the date of the conviction. If this length of time has not passed, the law states that you must tell us now about any criminal convictions you may have that are 'unspent'. If you do not tell us about your 'unspent' criminal convictions this may result in an unsuccessful application or dismissal at a later date. We do not expect you to tell us about speeding offences or parking violations.
