Our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (E, D&I) working group will look to ensure that services, policies, and decision-making are fair, inclusive, and responsive to our diverse communities.

Our working group members will act as a vital collaboratorto Amplius, advising on how well we meet obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and wider social responsibility.

Key responsibilities

• Review policies and procedures to ensure they promote equality and remove barriers.
• Monitor performance data, complaints and customer feedback through an E, D&I lens.
• Advise on communication methods to ensure accessibility and inclusivity.
• Champion the voices of underrepresented and marginalised communities.

Skills and qualities needed

• Commitment to fairness and inclusion – Respect confidentiality and diversity of opinion
• Open-mindedness – the ability to listen and understand different perspectives and experiences shared by customers, not just personal experience. 
• Team player – works well with other tenants, staff, and board members.
• Integrity – respects confidentiality and acts responsibly.

Time commitment

A minimum of 8 meetings per year (plus preparation time). Occasional involvement in training, service reviews, or policy working groups. 

We’re in discussions with another housing association called Longhurst Group about joining together as a single organisation. 

We believe that we’d be much stronger together and able to provide improved services and better value for money for our customers.
