Inclusivity
Our aim is to ensure that everyone is equally valued and respected and that our organisation is representative of all members of society, working in an environment where individual differences are celebrated.
We would like to improve the diversity of our top team to better reflect the people we serve, so are particularly keen to hear from you if you are a person of colour, from the LGBTQ+ community or have a disability.

Our people add our greatest value. We actively encourage a learning culture where we view every new project as an opportunity to learn and develop, where responsibility and accountability are things to be cherished and innovation is seen in standard working practices.
We will ensure that personal and professional growth and development opportunities are available, including time for supportive reflection and supervision for yourself. You’ll have the opportunity to make a difference, feel valued and achieve the job satisfaction you’ve always wanted.

Shared cost AVCs
