Latin American House

Who we are

Latin American House is a community-led organisation driven by and for Latin Americans in the UK. We focus on supporting those in our community, and other Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants in London, who face the greatest challenges, individuals in low-paid or insecure work, older adults, and those navigating barriers to social protection without the skills or knowledge to access essential support systems.

Our culture and values

Collaboration: Working together to achieve shared goals through collective effort. Collaboration drives innovation and ensures outcomes that no individual could achieve alone.

Communication: Clear communication ensures that ideas concerns and feedback flow openly across all levels.

Respect: Acknowledging the inherent worth of every individual within the organisation

Solidarity: Standing together in pursuit of common objectives and shared challenges

Empowerment (autonomy, decision-making power, good delegation): Giving individuals the autonomy to act confidently within their roles. With effective delegation, empowerment builds accountability and nurtures leadership at every level

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Latin American House is committed to being an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. 

This means: 

• being fair, impartial and providing equal employment opportunities
• recognising, respecting and celebrating our differences
• creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued

We’re also committed to ensuring our organisation is free of harassment and bullying and that everyone’s treated with dignity and respect. We have a separate dignity at work policy that covers this in more detail.

We value the differences that a diverse community brings and recognise that people from varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives strengthen our ability to serve effectively.

We aim to attract applicants with the knowledge, skills and experience required for the job, irrespective of their background. Having a diverse team helps us better understand the needs of our diverse range of stakeholders.  

We’ll base decisions on objective criteria. And we’ll make reasonable adjustments in recruitment as well as in day-to-day employment. 

We’ll provide information and guidance to staff involved in recruitment or other roles where equal opportunities issues are likely to arise. We’re committed to helping people in these roles understand their responsibilities and avoid the risk of discrimination.
