Equal Opportunities
Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people as this group is currently under‑represented in our workforce. Flexible working arrangements are available and those interested may discuss them with the hiring team.
