This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to shape & deliver services in a leading Black Minority Ethnic (BME) Housing Association, and make a difference to the lives of people in #diverse communities.

We were founded thirty-five years ago as a BME Housing Association as
... part of a wider movement to eradicate #discrimination and inequalities in housing.

Our social purpose and mission to 'fight #inequality and empower #BME people to improve their lives' drives everything we do.

Today is my last Friday before I become #faculty 🤯 and I wanted to take a second to reflect a little on my #postdoc experience. Spoiler alert: yes I grew a lot and met amazing people but no, postdocing wasn’t fun and I wouldn’t want to do that again. #PostdocLife 1/n
First the good - I learned and grew a lot during my postdoc and thanks to that, my career has shifted in exciting new directions. It also taught me not to be scared to try something new! Remember: PhD grads are really good at learning new stuff. #PostdocLife 2/n
What I learned cost me a lot though… being a #postdoc is by definition full of uncertainty and pressure: you don’t know where you’ll be living in 1-2yrs, funding insecurity for some, pressure to do great so you can land your next job, etc… #PostdocLife 3/n

- Once again Covid-19 is running along racial lines.Despite the inequalities exposed earlier this year, there has been little effort to stop Covid-19 hitting minority ethnic communities hardest as we enter the second wave. /2
- Without urgent action, the effects of pandemic are set to be felt unequally again. Already the latest national infection rates are over four times higher in Pakistani communities than white communities. /3
