Equality and Diversity
Birmingham City Council, the largest local authority in the country, employing over 59,000 people in a number of Directorates, each of which provide a vast range of key services to diverse communities in Birmingham.
Birmingham is a city with people from coming from a wide range of diverse communities. In line with the council's belief in the principles of social justice and the active promotion of genuine equality of opportunity for all its citizens, the City Council has committed itself to a policy of equality of opportunity, not only in its employment and personnel practices, but also in all the services for which it is responsible.
The City Council's Equal Opportunities in Employment Policy means that we welcome and encourage applications from all sections of the community irrespective of your gender, race, disability, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, sexuality, gender identity, marital status, responsibility for dependents, religion, trade union activity and age.
It is the intention of the City Council that at all levels the workforce should reflect the city's population and that everyone seeking employment or promotion within the City Council are treated fairly.
