Why work for us?

A supportive culture

We are proud of the many learning and development opportunities available to our staff members. These range from professional development schemes and mentoring programmes to training courses and funding for educational qualifications. 

We also ensure that our diversity and inclusion policies come through in everything that we do. The motivation to ensure we are a supportive and inclusive environment is promoted by our CEO, Professor Ian Chapman, who believes:

"Only through nurturing diversity of background, skills and thought in a culture where everyone is included can we enable brilliant people to achieve brilliant things."

We are actively taking steps to ensure that the next generation of graduates and apprentices, in addition to our more experienced employees, have every opportunity available to them to gain an exciting and rewarding career.

We have a number of internal networks and employee groups, which offer an opportunity to meet with other people from similar backgrounds. These include LGBTQ+, a women’s network, and ENACT (ethnicity, nationality and culture).
