We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees, non-executive directors and contractors and would welcome applications from a wide range of candidates, including those who have recently left an executive role and are embarking on a plural career.

Time Commitment: Approximately 55 days per annum (30 days USSL; 25 days USSIM).
