Diverse and inclusive teams

At MHCLG, we strive to be an environment where each of us is able to be their best self. Central to this is our strong commitment to diversity, inclusion and belonging.

Reflecting the communities we serve

As a department for people and places, MHCLG aims to truly reflect the diverse communities that we serve.

Embracing a diverse range of perspectives, backgrounds and mindsets in our teams is a core value for us and helps us deliver better public services to our communities. As such, we are also actively committed to geographical diversity and we promote many career opportunities outside of London.

“In the team, you genuinely get to be who you are and feel comfortable to talk about your differences and to be accepted for them with no judgement.”

Kev, Head of Live Services

We are for everyone

We actively encourage and welcome applications from everyone, in particular those that are underrepresented in our workforce as we work to continually improve our ability to represent the places and communities we support through our work.
