Ensuring that our School is inclusive as possible is a fundamental part of what we do in SEED. We aim to redress staffing imbalances and challenge systemic barriers. We promote equality and actively challenge unfair discrimination. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – people of all ages, sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, and beliefs. However, we particularly encourage applications from women, disabled colleagues, those who identify as LGBTQ+, and racially minoritised colleagues, because these groups are currently underrepresented at more senior levels in Higher Education
