Southwark stands together

Southwark Council are passionate about our people and understands that richness of diversity is a requirement to provide the best possible services to our communities. This is demonstrated through our council-wide ambitious commitment to tackle racial inequality in our communities and workforce through our Southwark Stands Together initiative.

Southwark recognise that we all have a part to play to make sure we continue to challenge inside and outside the Council by listening to our communities and partners across the borough. We understand the importance of listening to the voice of our workforce to hear their concerns and most importantly identify solutions to address areas of inequality by taking positive action to address these imbalances. This work is still underway and continues to pick up momentum and pace as we continue to focus on engaging with our workforce to identify solutions to make sustainable improvements and change that make Southwark Council a truly diverse and inclusive organisation.

We are committed to working with our communities, partners, and our workforce to create a culture where people feel safe to express their views without fear of repercussion and to hear the lived experiences of our employees to continue developing a positive culture which openly and actively challenges inequalities within council structures, processes, practices.

As part of our already diverse Digital and Technology teams, we are keen to hear from candidates who are passionate about creating Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace to help us continue to drive our positive culture across the Council.
