Gaddum is looking to appoint an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) consultant or agency to benchmark and audit its current EDI practice in relation to its workforce, volunteers, external stakeholders, and the communities in which they deliver services.
Gaddum is probably Manchester’s oldest health and social welfare charity. It is an independent voluntary sector organisation established in 1833 providing listening, advising and support services to adults, children and young people, and financial grants from charitable trust funds to local people in need in Manchester, Salford, Stockport, and Rochdale. Gaddum’s vision is to empower and enhance the lives of people in Greater Manchester.
Gaddum delivers services in:
- Advocacy
- Carers support
- Therapy services
Gaddum have an Equality and Diversity Policy, which was developed seven years ago and has subsequently been reviewed twice. Its purpose is to promote fair and equal treatment for all employees, volunteers (including trustees), trainees, students, apprentices, job applicants, service users, suppliers, contractors, and visitors, irrespective of any protected characteristics.
However, in response to both internal and external drivers, relating to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion, Gaddum would like to undertake a whole system review of its current approach to EDI, to help develop its future direction. This would not only ensure compliance with legislation but would also reflect and inform current thinking in embedding EDI in all aspect of their work and culture.
To apply submit an initial brief to Lynne Stafford, Chief Executive, at: [email protected] by 1 August 2022, 12pm.
