Equal opportunity

At NHS SBS, we recognise that a diverse workforce is key to the success of our business, encouraging different approaches and greater creativity. It is integral to our values that we are an actively inclusive employer.
For any contracts delivered under the G-Cloud framework, we will work with customers to understand how we can create projects to support equal opportunity in alignment with the service being provided. Our dedicated Sustainability and Social Value team will support customers to understand their Social Value focus areas and drive and deliver bespoke activity in these areas.
In relation to equal opportunity, for customers that utilise our NHS Cloud Enabled End-to-End Support Finance, Procurement and HR Back Office Service, where appropriate, we will undertake a bespoke materiality assessment to determine the diversity of the workforce. This can look at data points including but not limited to, gender, religion, ethnicity, and disability. For this service, where improvements are identified, we can work alongside partners, customers, and our teams to implement programmes to address areas for improvement.
For example, we recognise there is a UK-Wide disability employment gap, a key priority for the NHS. For this service, we would work with our partner DFN Project search to support young people with disabilities into internships in our organisation looking to target at least 4 young people per year.
We have 7 strong inclusivity and diversity networks, and one area of focus is supporting women to reduce the gender gap, therefore, at NHS SBS, we have a mentoring programme for our female colleagues to utilise to support confidence and development in our organisation. However, to build on this further, for new contracts, we will ensure that any applicant from our service is given a place on the mentorship programme to improve the skills development of females.

Our employee centred initiatives can be implemented alongside NHS Cloud Enabled End-to-End Support Finance, Procurement and HR Back Office Service, both in our organisation and by sharing best practise with customers. These initiatives include:
- Accessible recruitment practices

- Healthcare benefits
- An Employee Trust (providing financial support in times of hardship)
- Mental Health First Aiders who act as a first point of contact for employees

- encouraging all managers to have ongoing conversations about wellbeing and mental health with all their reports.
In addition to supporting our colleagues who work on this service, we can also support the wellbeing of our wider community through our volunteering programme, which can deliver three days per employee and can focus on wellbeing projects such as those that support mental health, including social prescribing activity.
