Just before you send, a couple of considerations. As a UK based Institute all our roles are based within the UK, so you’ll need to have the right to work in the UK, and be able to provide proof, unfortunately we’re unable to offer any visa sponsorship. We know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of daily life and you may want to use it to help you format your application. While AI can be a powerful enabler, and we’re open to you using it to apply for roles with us, we ask you to ensure anything you submit truly represents your capabilities and viewpoint. We value honesty, integrity and creativity and want to understand what you’ll uniquely bring to our team.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, we’d encourage you to submit your application as early as possible.
