Equality and diversity

We are committed to eliminating discrimination and encouraging diversity amongst our workforce and the communities in which we serve.

We aim to ensure that our workforce is truly representative of all sections of society and that each employee feels respected and able to give their best.

We have been recognised as one of The Times top 50 employers for women, and in the Stonewall top 100 list of Britain's most gay-friendly work places.

We know some people are more likely to face barriers when applying for jobs and we are determined to be an organisation that has fair and open recruitment practices.  This will help us to find the best person for the job to deliver excellent services. Genesis is an organisation that aims to develop the careers of its whole workforce with tailored learning and development at the centre of our people strategy. Genesis offers a range of benefits to help support work life balance such as flexible working.

Genesis particularly welcomes applications from people who are under-represented in our workforce: people with disabilities, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual people, transgender people, younger and older people.  We also welcome applications from ethnic minority people and women for senior management positions.
