Primary location is our HQ in Pocklington (YO42) on a hybrid basis Following a screen with the Recruitment Manager you can expect a two-stage interview process As part of our recruitment process due to the nature of the work we do, all employees are required to undertake a Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS)check. While some employees require further security clearance, the BPSS check is a must-have requirement and all offers of employment are conditional pending the passing of this check Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented people might have already talked themselves out of applying. We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the more successful we will be.
