The Council is firmly committed to the principles of equality and diversity in both employment and the delivery of services.
This means:
- making services accessible to all; and
- treating people fairly
…regardless of their colour, race, ethnic or national origin, language, religion or belief, gender or gender reassignment, marital status, sexuality, disability, age, and any illness or infection.
The Council is opposed to all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination and harassment. It seeks to provide services and employment in an environment which promotes equality, values diversity and celebrates excellence.
As a major public sector employer within Northamptonshire, we are committed to maintaining a workforce which broadly reflects the local community we serve. Our human resource policies promote equality of opportunity for all job applicants and employees.
We actively encourage applications from disabled people and people from black and ethnic minority groups who have the necessary skills and experience for the post. We will give you information about the council and include a job description and person specification for the role.
