Please note, this is a 12 month fixed term contract. If you are currently employed on a fixed term contract and are successfully appointed to the above role, you will be offered a further fixed term contract of employment.

If you are successfully appointed to the above role and it's a promotion from your current grade, you will be offered a temporary promotion. This will mean you remain on the terms of your substantive grade and move to the grade of the new role on a temporary basis (12 months). Please note - Where an employee is temporarily promoted into a senior manager role, the temporary promotion does not attract the benefits of the higher graded temporary role. Any bonus entitlement will be pro rated to the temporary grade, subject to eligibility.

It is the successful candidate's responsibility to liaise with their current line manager to discuss the option to return to their substantive role after the temporary term ends or find an alternative position. If this is not achieved the candidate would become surplus and the business will, where possible, redeploy them into a vacant position.

Before completing your application, you should read the criteria below in order to check that it is appropriate for you to apply.
