Our approach to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI)

EDI is of strategic importance within the organisation and recognised as integral to all we do as a service, not only for the people we help, but also for our colleagues and volunteers. We expect everyone in the organisation to foster our EDI values and contribute to advancing EDI. 

Our commitment to this is strong and supported at every level of the organisation, which is why we work hard on our working environment. We have regular training, conversations, and action, supported by our brilliant in-house EDI team. The team works with all colleagues to improve allyship and find new ways to interrupt systems, norms, and practices that may contribute to inequality. 

Positive action statement

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is of strategic importance within the organisation and recognised as integral to all we do as a service. 

Central to pursuing our EDI mission is building diverse and inclusive teams in which everyone has a sense of belonging. We believe inclusion is a social justice issue - a principle that underpins our all EDI work. To that end, we particularly welcome applications from people we would like to see better represented in our organisation and sector - people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. If you are disabled and meet our minimum criteria you will be guaranteed an interview for the role you apply for and we will provide reasonable adjustments as needed. We follow the social model of disability.

We’re also a flexible employer, so our roles may suit anyone who’d prefer a flexible arrangement to help their work/life balance. We’re flexible on location too. Many of our colleagues spend most of their time working remotely, and you can apply for our roles wherever you live in England and Wales.
