Diversity and inclusion

 
Picture of Diversity and inclusion

At Telford & Wrekin Council, we know that having a diverse workforce is key to providing the best possible services to our community. The richness of this diversity means we can better understand needs and deliver excellent services, as well as supporting employees. We know we are stronger and better connected as a result.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, people from Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse communities, and LGBTQ+ people, who are currently under-represented at this level.

We are a disability confident employer, awarded in recognition of our commitment to recruiting and retaining people with disabilities or other health conditions. This shows that we go the extra mile to make sure disabled people get a fair chance, with the aim to create more accessible jobs and a more inclusive workforce.
