The Felix Project recognises the positive value of diversity and is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce. We understand that certain groups (for example disabled people, women, and people from ethnic minorities) are less likely to apply to roles where they do not meet all of the criteria. For this reason, we actively encourage people to apply if they think they can do the role, even if they do not meet all of the requirements. We are also keen to encourage applications from those with identities that are currently underrepresented within the charity sector.
The Felix Project can only employ applicants who currently have the right to work in the UK.
