The diversity of our people, along with the rich skills they bring, are what makes the organisation. We
want to ensure that we have a workforce that reects the local communities we care for. That means that
we need to ensure that there are accessible opportunties for all and that when people join our
organisation they are given equal opportunities in training, development and progression.

We know that our Trust Board does not currently
reect the community which we serve. We are
committed to becoming a more diverse and inclusive
organisation but our experience with senior level
recruitment has shown us that BAME candidates aren’t
getting to the nal stages – and that’s because of a
lack of opportunity rather than a shortage of talent.
We are committed to changing that.
When recruiting to new and vacant board roles, we
will look to advertise these positions in different ways
to attract more diverse applications and we hope that
our work to become a more inclusive organisation will
encourage a wider group of candidates to apply.
