The Wellcome Trust: Valuing diverse and talented people

At the Wellcome Trust we have set ourselves an ambitious vision to achieve extraordinary improvements in human and animal health. We employ highly talented people from diverse backgrounds to make this vision a reality.

As a global charity that works across different countries and cultures, we are committed to inclusion and equality. Our staff are employed solely on their merits and we help them to maximise their achievements. It is important to us all to create a culture that is open, that respects others and where differences are valued and celebrated.

Sir Mark Walport
“The mission of the Wellcome Trust is to support the brightest minds to tackle the most important problems relating to human and animal health.

Success in this mission demands diversity; diversity of people, diversity of ideas and a diversity of approaches. This diversity will be reflected in the staff that we employ and the people we support.”

Sir Mark Walport, Director of the Wellcome Trust
