As a Disability Confident Employer, we are committed to employing people with disabilities and promoting a culture that is positive about disabled people. We are also a member of the Stonewall Diversity Champions programme.

The truth is that we couldn’t hope to do what we do without our diverse staff. We believe it is therefore our duty to provide and maintain a supportive, respectful culture for all of our people and that is why we have a number of staff network and support groups. These groups provide peer support as well as provide the RCN with insight on how we can improve our performance on diversity, equality and human rights issues and as an employer more broadly. They are:

• LGBTQ+
• Race and culture 
• Access and inclusion (for those with disabilities and long term health conditions) 
• Those who care for older people
• Women
• Working parents

The RCN Group's equality, diversity and inclusion statement focuses on our ambition to be a world-class champion of equality, diversity, inclusion and human rights, and sets out how we aim to achieve this. 

Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

The RCN are part of the Armed Forces Covenant which sets out the relationship between the nation, the nation, the government and the armed forces, with current exception to Northern Ireland. The covenant recognises that the whole nation has a moral obligation to members of the armed forces and their families, and establishes how they should expect to be treated.

We are committed to honouring the Armed Forces Covenant and supporting the Armed Forces Community. We will take action to meet the commitments required of the Armed Forces Covenant regarding employment, granting leave and offering support to our local cadet units.

One of those commitments is to seek to support the employment of veterans young and old and strive to support the employment of service spouses and partners.

If you are interested in a career with us that’s full of possibilities, check out our opportunities and get on board.

What does it take to be a manager at the RCN?

Firstly, be yourself. Be someone who cares about the team they lead. Be someone who challenges the way we do things with new ideas and fresh perspectives. Be someone who is committed to our mission.

But most of all, be the person you want to be led by.
