We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront.

Equity for all We know job descriptions can feel intimidating. Research shows they can cause some people to doubt whether they're a good fit. This happens more often to people from underrepresented groups (e.g. ethnic minority backgrounds). If this role interests you, we encourage you to apply. We want every candidate to feel supported and able to do their best. If you need adjustments to our process, we'll work with you to remove any barriers. Please note, if you have previously informed us of adjustments you need for an interview or within your role, these are not carried over and must be discussed for each individual application you make. We promote a workplace where fairness, respect, and inclusion are a priority . Diverse teams make our work better, help us deliver our mission, and make our culture stronger. We welcome applications from everyone, and colleagues can find support and community among our many employee networks. This includes people of any: - Age - Sex - Gender identity or expression - Sexual orientation - Religion or belief - Ethnicity - Disability Values and vision We are guided by our core values, which shape our work and our culture. Excellence - being a high-performing organisation. Caring - treating everyone with dignity and respect. Integrity - doing the right thing. Teamwork - learning from each other to be the best we can. We are a disability confident employer and a carer confident employer. A Note on AI AI tools can be great for research and refining ideas, but we want to learn about you. If you use AI or Chatbots to help you with your application, keep these points in mind: - AI can support research, structuring, and refining your writing, but your application must reflect your real skills and experience . - Spell-checking and condensing word counts are great ways to use AI effectively. - Do not copy and paste AI-generated answers. These will not help you stand out; remember, we want to hear about your skills and experience. - Providing false and insincere examples goes against our core values of honesty and integrity and may lead to your application being withdrawn or termination of your employment.
