Focus on Minority Recruitment

EEAST is committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We know that we are currently under-represented by minority ethnic staff at the Trust and are working to understand how we can improve this.

Part of the process is increasing the accuracy of existing staff records, for all our staff, to ensure we have a clear and accurate picture of our workforce as a whole. Updating your electronic staff record (ESR) with your personal information is essential for this. Including information about your protected characteristics, such as ethnic background and disability status, means that we are better placed to understand and support our staff better, including making any necessary adjustments if required.  

Please be reassured, the information you provide about your protected characteristics is not shared, other than for compliance with our statutory duties as an organisation around race and disability equality. All the details are anonymised for this purpose.

Thank you for your support.
