Equity, diversity and inclusion

We’ve made great progress so far, but we know there’s lots more to do. We want our teams to include people from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives who can bring their knowledge and lived experiences to the many roles across Sue Ryder, from our healthcare and fundraising teams to retail roles in our charity shops.

Our aim is for our workforce to reflect the people we support through our palliative, neurological and bereavement services and the communities we serve across the UK.

We believe in the power of volunteer networks to help us create a culture that is representative, vibrant and supportive. We have four networks that bring together people with shared lived experiences and shared identities, as well as allies who would like to support their work.

These networks are:

• Ethnic Diversity and Equity network
• People with Disabilities network
• LGBTQ+ network
• Women and Non-Binary Individuals network

Our networks drive change by helping us to reflect and understand the communities we serve. Our networks support our people, create safe spaces and identify opportunities to make change happen.

Our networks welcome everyone. Including every gender, age, disability, gender identity and expression, marital status, race, faith or belief, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and whether you’re pregnant or on family leave. They'll ensure that you are always treated with dignity and respect, supporting you as part of the team, every step of the way.
