We believe that diversity simply makes for a stronger team. We aim to create a workplace that is welcoming for all, inclusive of ethnicity, disability, age, religious belief, marital status, pregnancy, sexuality or gender. In order to reflect the ethnic diversity of our participants, we are particularly encouraging applications from applicants who come from global majority backgrounds, or applicants who have lived experience of seeking asylum.
