Inclusivity
Heart and circulatory diseases do not discriminate and as much as we are committed to beat heartbreak for everyone, we are also committed to be an inclusive employer for everyone. Our equality and diversity agenda spans across our charity and we pride ourselves in being an inclusive employer who puts diversity at the heart of everything that we do.
We drive our diversity agenda through our diversity and inclusion group Kaleidoscope and our main objective is for all of our colleagues, volunteers and supporters to bring their true self to work.
Our Kaleidoscope group is made up by representatives from each directorate and initiatives are closely interlinked with Live Well. Work Well. as well as Smarter Working. Our activities span across the diverse landscape which is prevalent in all of our communities, encompassing accessibility to work for people with caring responsibilities, working parents, disabilities, age, BAME, LGBTQ+ and many more strands of diversity. Some of our recent successes include: an enhanced maternity policy, decrease in our gender pay gap, attendance at Pride in London for the second year running, as well as Manchester, and our My BHF campaigns where we proudly showcase diversity in our communities.
We pride ourselves to be an inclusive workplace, where diversity is celebrated, recognised and included in all of our activities.
Whilst working for the BHF, you will be actively encouraged to bring your true self to work. You will also find a culture where colleagues are inquisitive about diversity and keen to get involved in all activities that make individuality part of what we do every single day.
We want to beat heartbreak forever, but we also want to beat heartbreak for every heart and we will only achieve this by welcoming colleagues from all background to come and be part of our BHF family.
