Working for the British Council offers you a unique opportunity to gain experience and develop skills in international cultural relations.
The British Council is committed to policies and practices of equality, diversity and inclusion across everything we do. We support all staff to ensure their behaviour is consistent with this commitment. We want to address under-representation and encourage applicants from under-represented groups, in particular, but not exclusively, on grounds of ethnicity and disability. All disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria are guaranteed an interview, and we have a disability-confident employer status. We welcome discussions about specific requirements or adjustments to enable participation and engagement in our work and activities.
We are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults with whom we work. We believe that all children and adults everywhere in the world deserve to live in safe environments and have the right to be protected from all forms of abuse, maltreatment and exploitation as set out in Article 19, UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) 1989. Appointment to positions where there is direct involvement with vulnerable groups will be dependent on thorough checks being completed in line with legal requirements and with the British Council’s Safeguarding policies for Adults and Children.
