Job summary
The newly established Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) directorate is dedicated to supporting the ICB/ICS in becoming a truly inclusive organisation and system, challenging the barriers across the system which cause disparities in our workforce and for our service users.

In addition, as a member of the Inclusion and Wellbeing Team within the directorate, you will work closely with senior leaders to provide equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing support to the ICB.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Co-ordinator will report to the Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing Manager and provide support across the EDI Directorate, raising awareness of EDI activities and sharing good practice across the Integrated Care Board/Integrated Care System (ICB/ICS).
In addition, the EDI Coordinator will provide coordination support for EDI and wellbeing communications, support to staff networks and event coordination, and EDI data analysis.
