We’re home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. The Equalities and Systems Change Lead is a new key role in the newly established Equalities and Disproportionality service.
The role
The Equalities and Systems Change Lead is responsible for leading and driving delivery across the Equalities and Disproportionality team. The role will involve raising the profile of equality, diversity, and inclusion across the system, providing advice, support, and constructive challenge to our leadership teams.

You will work closely with services working in the inclusion space to support a coherent equality, diversity, and inclusion programme of work that deliver real change. You will also work closely with stakeholders to catalyse change across the Borough and help us redefine how we’re supporting people and communities.

You will also have significant experience of developing positive relationships with multiple stakeholders to build support and influence thinking and decision making.
