Thank you for your great review - we’re pleased to hear you valued the location, workplace environment, and benefits. We appreciate your feedback on salary competitiveness - this is something we regularly benchmark against the market to ensure fairness and as a charity, we can’t always compete. All the best with your future endeavours. Elaine Chandler, Chief People Officer
