Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator

Full-Time, Permanent

Royal Holloway is appointing an enthusiastic individual to join our Organisational Development and Diversity team in HR and help the College achieve its EDI objectives.

This is an exciting time to be joining Royal Holloway as we have recently introduced new approaches to EDI work, with a focus on intersectionality and lived experiences of our community. A key priority is for the institution to be a fair and welcoming space for everyone with EDI at its core.  

The role holder will work alongside the EDI Manager supporting central and departmental initiatives, including Athena Swan, Disability Confident Employer, Race Equality Charter and Stonewall’s Workplace Equality Index applications

Essential criteria include commitment to promoting EDI, the ability to work with quantitative data, excellent interpersonal skills and the capacity to work collaboratively with a variety of people while understanding differing viewpoints.

Royal Holloway is piloting a Hybrid Working Scheme with colleagues splitting their time between remote/on-campus workings. The post holder will work in a supportive team that recognises the importance of helping employees achieve a work-life blend that works for them.

The College supports a range of staff networks including the Black and Global Majority Network, the LGBT+ Network, the Disability and Mental Health Network, the Menopause Network and the Royal Holloway Women’s Network (RoWaN).

Royal Holloway has an on-campus nursery welcoming children from 3 months to 5 years, a workplace nursery salary sacrifice scheme and enhanced family-leave schemes. The College offers a range of training opportunities and career development support. Further benefits include generous annual leave entitlement, schemes including Cycle to Work, Season Ticket Loans, free parking and help with eyesight testing costs.

This is a full-time permanent post based in Egham, Surrey where the College is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London.

Royal Holloway is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), and encourages applications from all people regardless of age, disability, gender, marital status, parental status, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or trans status or history. More information on our structures and initiatives around EDI, including information on staff diversity networks, can be found on our Equality and Diversity Intranet page.
