At Hackney Council, we don’t just talk about change we make it happen. We are home to one of London’s most diverse and dynamic communities, and we are committed to ensuring that every resident can thrive, regardless of background or circumstance.

You will bring proven experience of leading in complex, political environments and an impressive track record of delivering meaningful change through strategy, co-production and collaboration. With a deep knowledge of equalities and a strong understanding of the Public Sector Equality Duty, you will drive an agenda that promotes fairness, tackles discrimination, and reflects the values of our borough.
