Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to take on a highly visible leadership role within a values-led organisation making a positive impact across Wales.

The organisation offers genuine flexibility, including hybrid working (typically 2-3 days from home following an initial onboarding period), flexible start and finish times, and a trusting leadership style that empowers individuals to manage their own workload and deliver results.

Benefits:

• Salary of 60,000 - 66,000.
• Hybrid working with flexibility around start and finish times.
• Generous annual leave entitlement.
• Pension scheme.
