However, the successful candidate will be expected to spend more time in the office initially to support onboarding and gain familiarity with our systems and environment.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity, following the successful completion of their probation period, to opt into participation in the firm's out-of hours IT support service, which is entirely voluntary and attracts additional remuneration.
