Our commitment to diversity

We are committed to diversifying our team in order to broaden the insight and experiences we can draw on, and to do our work more credibly. So we strongly encourage people from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background, and people who live with health conditions or disability to apply for any open vacancies.

How we support our employees

At National Voices, our team is small and mighty, and we recognise the importance of having a job that fits around your life, rather than having to make your life fit around your job.  

This is especially important for individuals with caring responsibilities, those with long-term conditions and Disabled people. 

We have a range of benefits and family-friendly policies in place to support the wellbeing of our staff, and to help them achieve a good work-life balance.
