NEF wants to be an inclusive workplace with a diverse body of staff. We don’t want to conform to the traditional think tank model where people from certain backgrounds are hugely under-represented. We know we have some way to go in this and are therefore genuinely keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; women, people with disabilities or impairments; people who identify as LGBT+; people who have a mental health condition; and people who identify as working class or have done so in the past. 

Previous think tank experience is not required.

If you are disabled and have the essential skills and experience to do the job we will invite you to an interview. If you need information in a different format please let us know.
