“ King’s gives all staff the opportunity to volunteer within a charity or community organisation. I use my service time to volunteer as a trustee for the medical research charity Fight for Sight. I also recently volunteered at the King’s community garden - it was great to get away from my desk and meet other members of staff.

“ I took shared parental leave because I wanted to forge a strong relationship with my son. My wife is also an academic so this was also a good opportunity for me to show my commitment to her career development.​
