Please do upload the following on to the portal when you are applying: A covering letter describing your interest in the role, what you are passionate about and what you think you would bring to the team and to Mayden. Your CV, a copy of your passport and if required your share code and date of birth. We need to have evidence that you are eligible to work in the UK.

Hours and Location:

The position is for a full time member of our team, 37.5 hours, Monday – Friday. Collaboration is one of our four company values - we work best together. We believe there is significant benefit from working face to face when doing so. At the same time, some work may be carried out just as effectively alone and away from the office. We have therefore created a flexible ‘place of work’ policy that asks everyone to be where the work of the day is best completed and overall spend enough time in the office with others to maintain relationships and communication.

You must be eligible to live and work in the UK. This role is not eligible for sponsorship by Mayden for a skilled worker visa. Successful applicants will be asked to complete a basic DBS check as part of their onboarding process. These checks are processed by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and will be paid for by Mayden.
