In addition, whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, we particularly welcome applications from candidates who are male, from black and minority ethnic backgrounds or who have a disability, as these are currently under-represented in our workforce.

Many of our colleagues work flexibly in many different ways, including part-time. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you need.
