Mayoral Appointment: Members for Londons Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group

Help implement the Mayors vision for greater fairness and equality in London

The Mayor of London is inviting applications from individuals to a new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group designed to bring together stakeholders with expertise in the various forms of inequality and discrimination that Londoners can face.

A successful city needs to work well for all residents. Everyone should be able to share in its prosperity, culture and community life regardless of their age, social class, disability, race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or whether they are pregnant or have young children.

The Mayor is looking to appoint up to 20 members to bring their skills and experience to realise this vision to create a truly inclusive London. The Mayor wants to work in a new way with external experts to support the implementation of the new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy. The EDI Advisory Group will have a twin focus on guiding City Halls work to tackle inequality and create a fairer city, while ensuring the many key external stakeholders that informed the drafting of the strategy continue to be heard and involved on an ongoing basis.

Members will also perform an important functional role in convening a set of wider stakeholder networks which the Mayor and the GLA will draw upon for advice and guidance. Members will bring excellent knowledge of the opportunities and challenges involved in securing greater fairness across the city. In particular, we are seeking expertise in poverty and socio-economic status, disability equality, older peoples equality, LGBT+ equality, gender equality and race equality.

If you share the Mayors passion and ambition to tackle inequalities and create a truly inclusive city please read the Application Pack for full details of the role and recruitment process.

You will need to submit your CV and a covering letter (max 4 sides in total) via our online recruitment system.

Interview date: week commencing: 23 July 2018.

London's diversity is its biggest asset and we strive to reflect London's diversity in all Board appointments. The aim is that the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group contains a broad range of experience and reflects Londons diversity.  We welcome applications from all sections of the community, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.
