Other stuff you need to know:

At Salford, we are proud of our diverse student population we work hard to create an inclusive culture where all our students and colleagues can bring their whole selves to the University. In the Library, Careers & Enterprise we’re committed to creating welcoming spaces, accessible resources, and open and inclusive learning experiences where students can see themselves reflected in the staff they meet and feel inspired and supported to learn.

As part of our commitment to create a diverse team that draws from our widest talent pool, we recognise that we currently have a lack of diversity within our student facing team and would particularly encourage applications from those from a minoritised ethnic background and those who identify as male.

We’re continually looking to improve our recruitment processes to ensure they’re fair and inclusive. We’d like to complete an application review of this vacancy, and we’re hoping we can include your data.

Participation is optional - we’ll ask you to opt in or out in your application.

If you take part, this review won't affect your application.

It can take place approximately up to 6 months after the closing date. Your data would only be shared in a small group of authorised colleagues, and will help us monitor inclusivity, reduce unconscious bias, and create better experiences.

If you need any adjustments made to the application or selection process so you can do your best, let us know. We will be happy to help.
