Important Footnote

Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that 'normal' office hours aren't always doable, and while we can't accommodate every flexible working request, we are happy to be asked. So, if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren't sure if you are 100% there yet??? why not give it a whirl?

Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates???

Good luck!
