A role with real purpose and impact
In your role of Strategic Lead for EDI and Belonging, you can expect to:
- Lead and drive the delivery of our Equality and Inclusion Plan, ensuring EDI and belonging are embedded across our culture, services and decision-making.
- Provide expert advice and guidance to senior leaders, ensuring compliance with equality legislation whilst helping ClwydAlyn remain ahead of emerging best practice and sector developments.
- Develop meaningful EDI data, insight and reporting, identifying trends, opportunities and areas for improvement that drive better outcomes for colleagues, residents and communities.
- Champion inclusive cultures through learning, engagement and awareness initiatives, helping colleagues build the confidence and capability to create inclusive environments.
- Work collaboratively with residents, colleagues, community partners and external networks to shape our approach, strengthen community cohesion and promote social inclusion.
- Support the development of staff networks, resident forums and inclusion groups, ensuring diverse voices and lived experiences help shape our services and decision-making.
- Help identify and remove barriers to participation, accessibility and inclusion, supporting people from all backgrounds to feel valued, connected and empowered.
- Create opportunities for meaningful dialogue and engagement across diverse groups, helping to build understanding, reduce isolation and strengthen relationships within our communities.
- Represent ClwydAlyn externally, building partnerships and identifying opportunities to further our EDI and belonging ambitions.
Ultimately, you'll help ensure inclusion isn't something we talk about occasionally - it's something reflected in how we work, lead, listen and make decisions every day.
We're keen to hear from people who:
- Have significant experience leading EDI work at a strategic level
- Can translate legislation, regulation and best practice into meaningful action
- Are confident influencing senior leaders and challenging constructively when needed
- Understand how data and insight can drive better outcomes
- Have experience developing and implementing EDI strategies, frameworks or action plans
- Can build strong relationships across a wide range of stakeholders
- Are passionate about creating inclusive workplaces and communities
- Balance empathy and compassion with credibility and professional expertise
You'll have strong knowledge of equality legislation and regulatory requirements, but just as importantly, you'll understand how to move organisations beyond compliance and towards genuine inclusion.
Our goal is simple: Together, we will end poverty.
We know that creating sustainable, vibrant communities starts with understanding and reflecting the needs of the people who live in them.
We want to build communities where people feel connected to one another, have opportunities to contribute, and experience a genuine sense of belonging. This role will play a critical part in helping us achieve that ambition.
Inclusion isn't a standalone initiative here. It's fundamental to how we work, how we design our services, how we listen to residents and how we support our colleagues.
We're proud of the progress we've made, but we're also honest that there's more to do. That's why we're looking for someone who shares our ambition and wants to help shape what comes next.
Our values of Trust, Hope and Kindness guide everything we do, and we're committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued and able to thrive.
We're committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong.
We actively encourage applications from people from all backgrounds, experiences and communities. We particularly welcome applications from people whose voices and lived experiences are currently underrepresented within our sector.
Because building a more inclusive organisation starts with ensuring everyone has the opportunity to be part of it.
If you're passionate about equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging, and you're excited by the opportunity to influence strategy, culture and communities, we'd love to hear from you.
Join us and help create a ClwydAlyn where colleagues, residents and communities feel valued, represented, connected and able to thrive — because meaningful inclusion is built through deeds, not words.
