  The University is committed to equality of opportunity and welcomes applications from all.

  However, our employment monitoring data tells us that individuals from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, people with a disability and those who identify as LGBT+ are currently under-represented at the University. In addition, Protestants are currently under-represented in this category of work. As such, we particularly welcome applications from these individuals.

We are committed to ensuring our workplace is a safe, welcoming and inclusive place to work, which is why we subscribe to Equality Charter Marks such as Stonewall Workplace Equality Index, Diversity Charter Mark NI and Athena SWAN.

  It is also why we have established award winning Staff Networks such as PRISM and iRise.
