Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary and a hugely rewarding career in a great South West location, you’ll receive additional benefits which make your new role all the more appealing.
South West life
How would your perfect day off play out? Maybe you’d hit the surf, go sailing or spend the day sunbathing on a stunning golden beach with friends. Perhaps you’d hike across gloriously rolling hills, stop off in a country pub for lunch and maybe try your luck with a spot of fishing.
If you’re an urbanite at heart you might prefer superb city centre shopping, a gallery, a top restaurant and a lively waterside bar.
You’ll find all of this, plus great places to live and a selection of good schools and colleges and much more in the South West. It’s why it’s such a desirable place to live and work.
Plymouth
With the wild natural backdrop of Dartmoor to the north of the city, the sea and deep harbour of Plymouth Sound to the south, and the rivers Plym and Tamar to the east and west, there really is no other city like Plymouth.
