About the work
We have ongoing opportunities for flexible work in Data Management. You will be creating

opportunities for regular contact with your team leader via email, chat or video call. The
hours are totally flexible - most people tend to work 5-10 hours per week but you can reduce
or increase your hours depending on the demands of your course.
