Living Wage employer

^

We are proud to have been a Living Wage employer since 2013 and believe that paying the Living Wage is good for our charity, for individuals and for society.

The Living Wage, set annually by the Living Wage Foundation, is an hourly rate of pay, calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK.

We recruit around 100 people each year to work on short-term projects for our Waste Insights Team,  Centre for Social Innovation and Litter and Place Services Team. Those working for us outside London are paid at or above the UK Living Wage, while for projects in London, we pay at or above the London Living Wage.

Equality and Diversity

^

We seek to employ a workforce that reflects the diverse community at large.  We select applicants solely based on their knowledge, skills and experience to perform the role.  By taking an inclusive approach we aim to attract a diverse pool of talent and experience and welcome applications from all. 

During our recruitment process, we use positive action under section 159 of the Equality Act in relation to the protected characteristics that are under-represented at Keep Britain Tidy. This means that if we have two candidates of equal merit in our recruitment process, we will seek to take forward the under-represented candidate in order to diversify our staff group.
