In our three recent job ads, we failed to list our Equal Opportunities form & we didn't specify that we'll offer an interview to any disabled person who meets the criteria.

We've extended the deadline for all three, as we're seeking the strongest & most diverse field possible 🧵

It can be tricky understanding all the projects at @OpusIndependent and how they fit together.

This wonderful (bias noted) episode of the #AccidentalGods Podcast gives a brilliant insight into from where, why and how things have grown and evolved ☺

We believe this is the best way for @AndyBurnhamGM to follow through on the commitment he made in his election manifesto:

🗨️ "The logical next step, after the success of our @GMHousingFirst pilot, is to bring forward a #BasicIncome pilot"
