Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Hub+ Manager

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Hub+ is a national hub that will harness the engineering, physical and mathematical sciences (EPMS) research and innovation community’s collective effort to address diversity challenges specific to the sector. The hub will act as a focal point of activity and knowledge of good EDI practice across the UK. Drawing on expertise and insight from people and organisations from within and beyond the sector, the hub will provide leadership to pinpoint diversity challenges unique to EPMS. It is supported by the UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) through a £2.5 million investment. 

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Hub Manager to lead the operational delivery of the EDI Hub+, coordinating multiple stakeholders across universities, research institutes, industry, and professional bodies. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an ambitious programme that seeks to foster lasting change in equity, diversity, and inclusion across the UK.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
