We are aiming to conduct a 1st round of interviews on 13th and 14th June, and a second round on 20th or 21st June.
Platform strives to apply equal opportunities principles both in its recruitment and in its work. We oppose all forms of discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, gender, sexuality, marital status, religion, age or disability.
The successful candidate will be selected on the basis of how well they fit the person specification, as judged by their application materials and their interview performance.
We would particularly like to encourage applications from people of colour / black or brown people, who are currently under-represented in Platform. Where two or more candidates are judged to be of equal merit, priority may be given to a BME candidate as these groups are less well represented.
Due to the ridiculous and racist border restrictions in the UK, Platform is unfortunately unable to arrange work permits for applicants without UK residency.
