Leading London’s equalities agenda
We
have set the target of having a workforce that is 51% female, 27% from
black and minority ethnic communities, and 10% with a disability. In
addition we have set ourselves a target of having 12% of the workforce
from the Asian Community. The targets are set for all levels of our workforce,
and we positively encourage applications from people from within these
groups. In particular we are keen to receive applications from disabled
people and Asian people as these two groups are currently under represented
within our workforce.
