Details of preferred hours should be stated in the personal statement and will be discussed further at interview.

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture in which everyone can thrive. We particularly welcome applicants with the protected characteristics of disability, gender (female) and/or race (black, Asian or from a minority ethnic group), as they are currently under-represented in this type of role within the department.
