We welcome students and staff from all walks of life, and we champion a uniquely diverse working environment in which every colleague can excel, regardless of their background or life choices. We invite like-minded people into our community: people who care about changing the world, and who share our passion and vision for creating an innovative and forward-thinking learning and research environment.
We take a flexible approach, where possible, to accommodate life with work and recognise the importance of supporting, celebrating and respecting life outside work. We are progressing plans to fully imbed hybrid working, with many members of staff already taking this approach, however we appreciate this may not work or everyone and we are more than happy to have open and honest conversations with all our staff about how, where and when you might work best to deliver in your role.
