Trinity is the first university in Ireland to introduce a Blended Working Policy on a pilot basis, which will run for two academic years, starting in January 2022, until Trinity Term 2023. At Trinity, we embrace the concept of flexible working arrangements and recognise it offers benefits for the individual, the University and the environment. It allows some work to be carried out remotely and some work from the University campus. Blended working allows our people to stay connected to University life.*

At Trinity, we are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We are ranked 3rd in the world for gender equality (Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2020) and we hold an Athena SWAN Bronze award, recognising our work to advance gender equality. The University is actively pursuing a Silver level award, which it has committed to achieving by 2025. Trinity is committed to supporting the work-life balance and to creating a family-friendly working environment.
