You will play a crucial role in helping the GLA’s biggest directorate to achieve its strategic objectives, by establishing a strong inclusive culture where people can perform at their best and continuously develop, innovate and use their strengths to deliver better outcomes for Londoners. You will also help foster a culture that reinforces inclusivity, trust, respect, creativity, collaboration and openness across the directorate.
The role is focused on the people side of change management and supporting the implementation of new ways of working, particularly in response to wider corporate change programmes.

You’ll play a key role in coordinating our crucial work to achieve our EDI goals and making sure these are seamlessly embedded into people’s day-to-day activities and aligned with the wider organisation’s EDI strategy and goals.
This role will be based at London Fire Brigade’s Head Office (Union Street SE1 0LL). GLA staff are hybrid working up to 3 days a week in our offices and remotely depending on their role. As part of this, you will need to split your time between home working and coming into the office.

We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability. We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority ethnic candidates and disabled candidates who are currently underrepresented in our workforce.
