You should be prepared to work 25-30 hours per week in-person (not remote).

APPLICATION

Please submit a CV and cover letter as well as 1-2 professional references.

As an alternative to a traditional CV, you may also submit your LinkedIn profile. You must also include your email and contact number.

Instead of a typically boring cover letter, please take this opportunity to introduce yourself - we would like to get a sense of your personality and how you differ from other candidates.

Please confirm that you have the legal right to work in the UK, and that you are comfortable commuting to SW5 (nearest Tube: Earl's Court). Candidates who are local to the area will be favourably considered.

Please also state whether you have any other ongoing long-term commitments - e.g. classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or nannying on Wednesdays, or volunteering on Fridays. This will not be a problem as we are very prepared to be flexible. We do not need you to commit to a typical 9 am to 5 pm daily schedule, however, we would like you to manage our expectations as to your availability.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
