- This role can be based either in MAG’s office in Manchester or from home within or outside of the UK. MAG will consider applications from candidates who are based in any country, however, the final decision on whether employment in a specific country location can be supported will be based on a compliance and budget check and be reviewed by MAG’s senior management. You should therefore clearly set out the country that you would wish to be based remotely in.
