We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space.

We want to ensure that our trustees, staff members, lived experience partners and volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences. We want to ensure that everyone feels heard and is fully able to participate and thrive.

We currently have an under-representation from people from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds, people who identify as LGBTQ+ and disabled people and so would particularly welcome applications from people from these groups.

We welcome applications from people who have been in contact with the criminal justice system. For some roles, you may be asked to undergo a basic or enhanced DBS check, but you will only be deemed ineligible for roles which relate to any offences on your criminal record.

We have a range of benefits in place to ensure everyone can thrive, for example:

· We offer flexible working wherever possible

· We provide our employees with an annual wellbeing allowance

· And much more
