We are seeking to appoint an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer jointly

Internet Institute (OII). Both departments have recently been awarded a Bronze
Award in the Athena Swan Charter, OII in 2022 and DSPI in 2024. The EDI
Officer will be responsible for implementing the Athena Swan action plans for
both departments, liaising with key stakeholders to effect change. The EDI
Officer will support and be active on the Departments’ and Division’s EDI
committees and panels, working closely with the Chairs to identify goals and
actions, and effectively deliver new initiatives.



Both Departments are committed to fostering an environment of equality,
diversity and inclusion. The hours may be worked flexibly to complement caring
responsibilities - please state preferred hours and working pattern in your

You will be based in Oxford as your normal place of work, however there is

You will need to be able to work independently, with proficient IT skills
