Important Points to Note
Some roles are subject to pre‑employment vetting (including DBS checks for successful candidates). If required, you’ll be informed and provided with information about vetting during the recruitment process. We also conduct financial probity checks for some roles. We occasionally close vacancies early if we receive a high volume of applications, so we recommend applying early. If you need a reasonable adjustment due to a disability that might extend the application time, contact us ASAP. We want all Partners to have a good work‑life balance and support flexible working, including compressed hours, job sharing or shorter‑hour contracts where possible; discuss further with the hiring manager during your interview.
