We are committed to creating an increasingly diverse and inclusive social enterprise, and particularly encourage you to apply if you identify with a group traditionally underrepresented in society, due to your gender identity, nationality, neurodiversity, sex, marital status, family status, socioeconomic background, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion, or membership of Traveller or other minority ethnic groups. So if you feel like you could do a job at Common Knowledge but you’re in any doubt as to whether you should apply - you should!
