Equality Diversity Inclusion

We are working to build an inclusive culture at Advance where difference is celebrated and people from all backgrounds can thrive.

We are proud of our record on diversity in our workforce and we welcome applications from anyone wanting to work for us. 

We subscribe to a number of programs, including Inclusive Employers and the Disability Confident Leader scheme, which enable us to open up employment opportunities for everyone in the community.

We focus on ensuring our customers' diverse needs are recognised and met through our day to day work, and that our services are as inclusive as possible.  We also support customers to recognise and celebrate diversity in their own communities. 

Our EDI Plan: Everyone Valued outlines the actions we are taking to ensure EDI is embedded across our organisation.
