Are you passionate about Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and looking to make a meaningful impact? We have exciting opportunities available!

At the heart of our work is Salford’s EDI Statement of Ambition (SoA), launched in July 2023, which promotes a holistic approach to EDI throughout the institution. Joining our team now presents an incredible opportunity as the SoA has created a strong focus on implementing change. We have a community of EDI Leads and Advocates across the University who are actively contributing to our mission. In this role, you’ll play a crucial part in enabling, informing, and shaping practices to bring the SoA to life and achieve our EDI goals. Together, we aspire for Salford to become a leader in EDI practices, and you can be a part of this journey!
