Our offices are currently closed due to Covid-19 and this role will work remotely until the offices re-open. Long-term when we do re-open our offices, we will operate with a large degree of flexibility on location, so whilst the role is contractually based in Sleaford, we wouldn't expect you to be in the office every day or even every week, but you would need to commute for essential meetings and collaborative work from time to time.
