followed by 13 weeks of statutory pay and a further 13 weeks unpaid, and
paternity leave of 2 weeks full pay. In return, you can expect a department
that helps you learn and develop that recognises your expertise and
contribution, both as an individual and part of a team. If you've ever wanted
to do more, see more, go further or be better, we have roles in more
professions and vocations than ever before. Let's see where your future will
take you, together.

sponsorship, your application will be rejected and any provisional offer of
employment withdrawn.
