Location and hybrid working

For this role our main office is at Ashridge House. This is an exceptional location but it does have logistical implications so please consider your potential commute before applying. Currently we are working hybrid style meaning we are at Ashridge House four days a week. Fridays are an optional working from home day. However, if your clients are on site at Ashridge, then you are on site, hence there could be weeks when you would travel to site more often and weeks when you travel less. Beyond this we do team meetings at Ashridge House to keep the team together.
