We know that the diversity of people and communities in Cambridgeshire helps to make our county the vibrant and creative place it is.
Our workforce
We value our diverse workforce and the contribution all our colleagues make to the success of our organisation. We know that having a diverse workforce means we reflect the people in the communities we serve. It also helps us to improve our efficiency and effectiveness.
We have an active Equality and Diversity Network. This group is for colleagues and Members who have protected characteristics and / or have interest in supporting people with protected characteristics. The Network holds regular meetings, runs awareness events for colleagues, and provides valuable feedback on how we can continue to improve our support for our diverse workforce.
We have a number of processes in place to support the recruitment, retention, promotion and engagement of colleagues with protected characteristics.
Cambridgeshire County Council is a Disability confident employer.
