St Basils is committed to creating and maintaining an environment for young people, colleagues, volunteers and partners that is free from discrimination, harassment and victimisation, where diversity is valued, equity is promoted and everyone is treated with dignity, fairness and respect.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and lived experiences and are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and during employment where required.
We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and particularly welcome applications from groups that are currently under-represented within our workforce, including people with disabilities, care-experienced people, people with lived experience of homelessness, and people from ethnically diverse backgrounds.
All appointments will be made on merit, based on the skills, experience and behaviours required for the role. Where appropriate, we use inclusive recruitment practices designed to reduce bias and provide all applicants with an equal opportunity to demonstrate their suitability for the role.
St Basils is committed to facilitating an environment that is diverse and inclusive, with equal opportunities for all members of staff. As a member of the organisation, it is integral that Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion standards are met, regardless of position, role, or location. Our EDI strategy is a huge part of pushing the charity forward on our mission, with a clear understanding of marginalised groups and the protected characteristics. This knowledge and continual urge to foster an environment that is not only safe for our staff but also for the young people, will all serve our overall purpose.
