At Bristol City Council, we value having a workforce as diverse as the City we serve. We therefore welcome, develop and promote people from all sections of the community.
Company
We provide hundreds of day-to-day services to support people who live or work in Bristol, from issuing business grants to providing social care to running the city's museums and parks. We deliver a range of services for people who visit the city too.
Bristol is a successful city with much to be proud of but, like all cities, we have our challenges. The city's success doesn't reach everyone living here and this brings some difficult issues.
We have an ambitious vision to build a better Bristol that includes everyone in the city's success and leaves no one behind.
That's why we're looking for innovative and talented individuals who can help us achieve this vision. We want people who share our values and commitment to serve the city, its communities and citizens.
At Bristol City Council we pride ourselves on growing a workforce that is talented, diverse and motivated and represents the community it serves. Only then can we provide an appropriate and outstanding service to all Bristol citizens. We aim to have a diverse workforce where creativity thrives. Our handling of equality and inclusion will reach the high standards we expect of ourselves and others will look to us as a source of good practice.
It's a great time to join us. In August 2020 Bristol published a new Workforce Strategy which has equality and inclusion at its core. We became the first major city to publish reports on ethnicity and disabled employees pay gaps, as well as the required gender pay gap report. We're now changing and improving our equality, diversity and inclusion performance and embedding positive practices into everything we do.
We're investing in changes and improvements to recruitment, strategies and leadership that lead to increased diversity in the council's workforce, as well as creating a range of opportunities for under-represented groups to move in to senior roles, such as The Stepping Up programme. This is Bristol's award-winning leadership scheme for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups and other equality groups: just one way in which we're working towards a more inclusive work place. If you're joining the council, you could have the opportunity to apply for this, and other, positive action initiatives.
