Equality, diversity and inclusion

At Keniston, we are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in everything we do and in the way we work together. We value diversity and believe that everyone should be treated fairly, with dignity and respect, regardless of background, identity, or circumstances. We are committed to creating a workplace where differences are recognised as strengths, barriers are removed, and everyone has equal access to opportunities for recruitment, development, and progression. We welcome applications from all sections of the community and aim to foster an inclusive culture in which every employee feels valued, supported, and able to contribute fully to our work and our communities.

Recruitment

As part of our commitment to fairness and equality, Keniston uses blind name recruitment and anonymised application processes. Personal details such as names and other identifying information are removed from applications during shortlisting to ensure that candidates are assessed solely on their skills, experience, and suitability for the role. This approach helps us to reduce unconscious bias, promote equality of opportunity, and ensure that all applicants are considered fairly and consistently.
