Equal Edinburgh
Equal Edinburgh is our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion framework that aims to deliver services that are engaging and easy to use, making sure that every individual can access and benefit from Council support with dignity and confidence.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work. We recognise the benefits that diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds bring to our organisation, and we are committed to employing and retaining a workforce that represents the population of the city we serve. We particularly encourage applicants from under-represented groups including women, LGBT+ people, racially minoritised groups, people with disabilities and people who are neurodivergent.
Inclusive recruitment
As part of our commitment to inclusive recruitment, our Guaranteed Interview Scheme includes all applicants who are or have been care experienced, and who meet the essential criteria for the post. As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee an interview to applicants who meet the criteria for the post and who declare a disability.
