This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference by extending the reach of our world leading knowledge to benefit the communities we work with and to help us deliver our ambitious **University Strategy**.

We value diversity and inclusivity in our teams to reflect society, and better enable our education, research and enterprise to transform the communities we serve. Applications are welcomed from all backgrounds and particularly encouraged from individuals in traditionally underrepresented groups.
