Who we are
Our values
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
We value diversity, inclusion and lived experience when recruiting our paid and voluntary workforce.
Learn about our approach to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Our workforce (staff and volunteers) recently took part in a voluntary EDI survey:
- 20% of our workforce are male, typical of a healthcare setting.
- 18% of our workforce are LGBTIQA+ compared to less than 3% of the population locally.
- Our workforce reflects the diversity of our local community, with around 60% identifying as white British and 40% from other ethnic backgrounds, compared to 81% and 19% nationally.
- 32% of our workforce told us they are from a south Asian background (Pakistani and Bangladeshi), this is similar to the local population.
