It’s the capital of Wales and a hub for financial and professional services, so you’ll work with a varied mix of ambitious businesses. It’s compact and easy to get around, with Cardiff Bay, great food and music, and the coast and Brecon Beacons on your doorstep. Add strong rail links to Bristol and London, and you get the best of both worlds.
We’re happy to talk flexible working, including reduced hours, and we’ll support you to balance work and life.
