Overview
An inclusive organisation built on strong values. We believe that our council should fully reflect the diverse city it serves, with an inclusive workforce that represents everyone in Leeds. Central to our values is our commitment to treat people fairly, respect all and root out inequality and discrimination. We value difference and encourage everyone to be the best version of themselves at work. We are an inclusive employer supporting you all the way, from the moment you apply to join our team throughout your time working with us. We are proud to participate in national benchmarking schemes that promote and recognise good employment practice and inclusive workplaces.
Staff networks
An inclusive culture has people at heart. People who feel understood, able to be themselves and who have a voice. Our staff networks amplify that voice and offer peer support and a safe space to colleagues who associate with a particular theme through lived experience or allyship. The networks play a vital role at organisational level too, promoting awareness of issues, empowering underrepresented groups and driving cultural change.
