The GLA is a high‑profile and fast‑paced environment, and therefore this role will often be busy and challenging, but also exciting and very rewarding. You must be confident operating in a fast‑paced and constantly changing environment and be able to demonstrate the ability to remain calm and clear‑headed under pressure.

We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.
