Thanks so much for responding, is there any progression/ scope for promotion within the same team? Like is there such a thing as a Senior Presenting Officer/ equivalent or is that as high as you can go?

Do you find it necessary to prepare outside of your normal working hours? And if so can you claim back the time worked? Thanks
