Inclusion is embedded throughout the organisation, in our thought processes, in our strategy, in our business processes and in our governance. Inclusion requires action to ensure people are included who might otherwise be excluded or marginalised, and ensuring a culture that fosters a true sense of belonging. Being an inclusive employer means that all colleagues, at every level of the organisation, have to make a choice to be inclusive, and this will be our norm.

We encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that represents the wider society that we serve. We champion diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and a sense of belonging.
