We are committed to recruiting, retaining, and developing a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

Equality monitoring information is not accessible by recruiting managers at any stage.

We are committed to safe and fair recruitment, safeguarding, and protecting those we care for and serve. We make sure all our staff are vetted, selected, trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective, and compassionate care.
