You will need to live within 1 hr of Derby due to the on-call element of the role (1 week in 3, 24×7 and includes weekends). Calls are relatively infrequent and tend to be password resets but it is essential that you can get to the site if needed. You will need a driving licence and to be eligible for business insurance, for occasional travel to other sites.
This is a great opportunity to join a friendly and supportive team in a senior position, and contribute to the ongoing success of the business.
£32,000 – £38,000 (depending on experience, and includes on-call).
