Equality, diversity and inclusion

Working flexibly, productively and comfortably

We know everyone has different needs. So where possible, we work with our colleagues to ensure they get the best possible work-life balance.

We accommodate people with disabilities

We're an equal opportunities employer and operate a disability confident scheme. This means we guarantee an interview to applicants who have declared a disability on their application form*. We'll also make any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process.

*Subject to them meeting the minimum criteria outlined in the role profile.

Using name-blind recruitment 

To avoid potential biases and barriers, we remove the candidate's name from their application. This makes it easier for hiring managers to make objective decisions about the candidate's suitability. We also closely monitor gender and ethnicity pay gaps and have adopted the Rooney Rule for senior roles. This means that we consider at least one woman and one ethnic minority candidate for every open position.

Race Equality Network

Network members contribute to key events throughout the year, including our Black History Month celebrations. The Network also helps ensure that Peabody is an inclusive place to work for all colleagues irrespective of their race or ethnicity background.

Gender Network

Our Gender Network promotes gender equality and diversity throughout the organisation. It provides tailored employee support, and helps identify issues and celebrates diversity.

Family Network

This network aims to create a family-friendly workplace. It also supports and champions people with caring responsibilities, so that they can meet their demands at work and home.  

Pride Network

This network is focused on making sure we are an inclusive place to work for everyone - regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. It encourages active, hands-on involvement from all colleagues and contributes to our LGBTQIA+ History Month and Pride Month celebrations.
