  1. Hi
    I’m really interested in your vacancy and 15 hours is just what I’m looking for. I need really to work 2 days per week rather spread the hours over more days. Would this work for this post?

    Many thanks

      Apologies for the delay in my reply, the 15 hours would be spread over the week as the office needs to be covered.
