Fair and inclusive

We recognise that we are more successful and creative when we are diverse. Inclusion helps make decisions more effectively and ensures our policies reflect the needs of everyone in Wales.

We welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including groups currently underrepresented in our workforce such as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, LGBTI+ people and disabled people.

Social model of disability

We follow the social model of disability. 

Workplace Adjustments aim to remove the barriers that disable. These can be physical or non-physical adaptations and can be agreed and amended throughout the recruitment process and after joining.

Staff diversity networks

Our formal and informal staff diversity networks give under-represented groups a voice. It’s a chance to meet others with whom you can share experiences, issues and ideas and participate in social activities. The networks also act as an advisory body to internal policy makers.

Trade unions

In Welsh Government, the relationship between the employer and trade unions is based on social partnership.

Ensure your voice is heard by joining one of our recognised trade unions:

• Public and Commercial Services (PCS)
• Prospect
• FDA

Anti-racist organisation

We are committed to being an Anti-racist organisation and working towards making Wales an Anti-racist nation.

Friendly employer

Our Permanent Secretary has signed the Workplace Menopause Pledge committing us to being a menopause friendly employer. We have a thriving menopause network.

We are also signatories to the Endometriosis Friendly Workplace pledge.

Guaranteed interview scheme

We guarantee an interview to any disabled person or Armed Forces veteran whose application meets the minimum criteria for the post.

Changing Faces pledge

We’ve signed the Changing Faces Pledge to be Seen, which commits us to encouraging more people with a visible difference to join our organisation.
