Diverse teams are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women) may feel put off if they see too many boxes to tick. We also understand that normal office hours aren’t always doable. While we can’t accommodate every flexible working request, we are happy to be asked. If you’re excited about working with us and think you can meet many of our requirements but are not 100% sure you’re 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!
