*This role is based in our Edinburgh office. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the majority of CAS staff are still working from home, however we are now starting a transition towards a return to the office. This will be carefully planned and managed in accordance with the latest Scottish Government guidance and public health advice. Candidates should be prepared to attend the office on their first day for an induction, after which they will be able to work from home initially. Going forward, attendance at the office will be required, however CAS are introducing a blended working policy to allow our employees to balance their time attending the office with time working from home.
