Job summary:

Ofgem works on behalf of energy consumers to ensure that every household and business in the UK can rely on a safe and sustainable energy supply.

We are playing a vital part in accelerating the transition to Net Zero and a carbon neutral energy system - a goal that everyone wants to achieve.

Whatever your role, you'll be playing your part in creating new energy solutions that are great for customers, and great for the environment.

Diversity and Inclusion are core values of our organisation.

We are committed to establishing a workforce that reflects the diversity of the UK population, so that we can harness the full breadth of people's professional and personal experiences to inform and challenge our perceptions and better understand the needs and priorities of all energy consumers.

We now have an opportunity for an experienced Diversity & Inclusion professional to help embed the actions of our D&I strategy into organisational practice.

It's a highly varied role - you can expect to contribute to areas such as learning & organisational development; recruitment; defining the employee experience; and to be an advocate for good practice in all aspects of our work.

Effective use of data will be an essential part of your work - drawing on this to set specific and measurable targets to work towards.

This is a great opportunity to be part of an organisation that is serious about enhancing its D&I practice.

Ofgem has a culture of inclusion that encourages, supports and celebrates the diverse voices and experiences of our colleagues. It fuels our innovation and helps ensure we can best represent the consumers and the communities we serve. Everyone is welcome - as an inclusive workplace, our employees are comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work.

Job description:

Ofgem is a non-ministerial government department and an independent regulatory authority.

Our objective is to protect consumers' interests now and in the future by working to deliver a greener, fairer energy system.

We do this by regulating the sector to ensure security of supply, and protect the interests of consumers, as well as by delivering current and future government schemes to advance decarbonisation and support vulnerable consumers.

Other current strategic priorities include enabling investment in low-carbon infrastructure at a fair price; delivering flexibility in how we generate, use and store energy; delivering a future retail market that works for all consumers and the planet; unlocking the benefits of data and digitalisation; and ensuring energy system governance is fit for the future.

We work effectively with, but are independent of, government, the energy industry and other stakeholders within a legal framework determined by the UK government.

In order to deliver our work, and deliver good outcomes for consumers and our planet, we need to ensure that Ofgem is fully harnessing all available talent and want to see the wider energy sector doing the same.

Diversity and Inclusion is a top priority for our CEO and Board, and they are keen to see a step change in how we and the wider energy sector operate.

The role will be part of our new and growing Diversity and Inclusion team which is responsible for developing and delivering an ambitious inclusion strategy to champion and promote diversity and inclusion among our workforce, in the way we work, and in the industry we regulate.

Through this we aim to:

Build a diverse and inclusive workforce which better reflects the population we serve
Make Ofgem's workplace culture a more inclusive one where everyone can be their true selves and flourish
Work with, and influence, other organisations across the energy sector to improve diversity and inclusion which delivers better outcomes for consumers

Reporting to the Head of Diversity & Inclusion your day-to-day activities will look something like this:

Provide and coordinate DE&I advocacy across Ofgem to promote opportunities for inclusive best practices, programmes, and partnerships.
Collaborate other teams across the organisation to ensure DE&I is embedded in all areas of the employee experience.

Guide our employee networks to help maintain, understand, and support the work they do aligns with our overall D&I strategy

Work in partnership with L&OD to develop and implement a holistic and comprehensive learning and organisational development strategy creating a common language and behaviour aro
