It is fundamental to me our council has an authentic commitment to inclusion. Brighton & Hove is a city that is so welcoming and inclusive that if you don't feel you fit elsewhere, you will find your fit here. We are a City of Sanctuary where everyone is welcome and can thrive. We want to be a council that reflects our city.

We are proud of the changes we have made in the diversity of our workforce, including a reduction in the gender pay gap. The national average gender pay gap is a 13.1% gap in favour of men; our median gender pay gap is 3% in favour of women; women also make up 62.7% of staff in our upper pay bands.
