This role will be hugely demanding and interesting but a fantastic opportunity to deliver for Defence in a critical role.
This job role may be suitable for hybrid working, which is an informal, non-contractual and voluntary arrangement, blending a balance of attendance in the workplace (your permanent duty station will be in central London) and working remotely. However, based on a business assessment of where certain work can be undertaken there is a requirement for you to be based on site at your permanent duty station 3 days a week as a minimum and you will also probably need to visit remote sites at least 1 day a week.
