NDTi care about and value diversity in our workplace and is committed to equality of opportunity.

We want to redress this imbalance and recognise the positive value of diversity, promote equality and challenge unfair discrimination. We aim at all times to recruit the person who is most suited to the job and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – men and women, people of all ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions and beliefs.

However, we particularly encourage applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as presently these groups are underrepresented across our organisation.
