A LOCAL health and wellbeing provider is only of only three NHS trusts to be listed in the Top 50 UK employers for its work in demonstrating a diverse and inclusive workplace.

For the second year in a row, Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust has been listed within The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers.

This year the trust is up 25 places and has been ranked number 24 out of 50 organisations in the UK for its outstanding efforts and commitment to attracting and retaining a diverse workforce.

The list was compiled by a dedicated panel of judges and collated based on organisations’ performance on a range of areas within the area of diversity, including recruitment procedures, training and other initiatives.

Emma Allen, equality and diversity project manager at Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Being recognised as one of The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers demonstrates the trust’s commitment of keeping people at the heart of everything we do.

“We truly value the individuals that work here and work so hard to ensure that we are as inclusive as possible by providing equal access and opportunities for all.

“We are so proud to have been listed for the second year running and to have been ranked 25 places up from the previous year.

“It is a huge privilege to have our work recognised by Excellence in Diversity.”
