Equality and Diversity in Employment
At Colchester Borough Council we have a corporate approach to equality and diversity that reinforces the importance of providing equal opportunities to potential and existing employees. Through the employment of committed and motivated people we can deliver excellent customer services and improve the reputation of the Council as an employer of choice. We are proud to have achieved national recognition of this commitment in the form of the Equality Framework for Local Government.
To ensure that these principles are embedded into our recruitment process, we provide training for our employees in both the legislative and practical issues of Equality and Diversity as well as integrate these aspects into our bespoke Recruitment and Selection training course.
We welcome applications from all members of our community to ensure the diversity of our borough is fully represented through the services that we deliver.
