JRF is fully committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in our sector. We want this to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work for us and we are particularly interested in applications from people from all backgrounds. JRF is a Disability Confident employer and will offer interviews to disabled candidates that meet the essential criteria required to undertake the role. For those roles which allow it, we’re developing a more blended approach to how and where you work based on individual needs.

We know that a commitment to equity must run through all aspects of our work: from the partners we engage or fund, through our research, to our own internal culture and commitment to inclusion. That is why, through our work, we centre the experiences of those who are so often disadvantaged by structural barriers - people who are disabled, those from minoritised ethnic communities and individuals who suffer discrimination based on their sexual orientation.
