We recognise that women are less likely than men to apply for a role if they do not have experience in all the areas mentioned. The list above is indicative; we would still welcome your application even if you do not have experience in all the listed areas, but think that you could do the job.
Many of us hold back unless we can tick every box. Not because we lack ability, but because we have been conditioned to treat job descriptions as pass or fail criteria rather than a guide.
