Ideally, we are looking for someone available Monday to Friday, working 8am–5pm on four days and 12pm–5pm on one day per week. There may be some flexibility with days and hours if needed for the right candidate.
There may also be opportunities for additional work beyond the initial two weeks, with the potential to develop into a longer-term position.
