Our office is in Dundee, but during the COVID-19 pandemic this role is home based until there is no longer a requirement to physically distance. We actively encourage remote working and would support a less office-based format even after restrictions are lifted. We are developing our home working policy and we are happy to discuss individual arrangements and consider full home working as an option depending on job requirements and meeting the eligibility criteria as determined by the new policy. We welcome applications from candidates outside Dundee and the surrounding areas.
