THE OPPORTUNITY
The appointment will begin as a nine-month maternity cover, with a target start in early November 2026 to allow for a structured handover.
This is not simply a “keep the seat warm” assignment.
If you come in, drive progress and make a real impact, the business intends to explore a permanent position working alongside the returning manager.
Any permanent appointment will be subject to performance and business need, but the opportunity is genuine.
