NHS Sussex ICB ambition is to create an inclusive working environment which reflects our commitment to celebrate and promote diversity for all groups. We are particularly under-represented in staff from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and disabled communities and actively encourage and welcome applications from these communities. Furthermore, we welcome applications from reservists and ex-armed forces as we recognise the benefits of the values, skills, training and experience that they bring to their work with us.

We encourage all applicants to share their equality information with us confidentially during the application process so that we can statistically monitor how fair and equitable our recruitment process is and how well we are reaching applicants from diverse communities and identify where we need to improve. This information is removed before shortlisting.
