About the Equality Trust

The Equality Trust draws on the increasing evidence that excessive levels of economic inequality are damaging to the life-chances and mental and physical health of individuals, to social cohesion and to the performance of organisations and the economy. The UK has one of the highest levels of inequality in the developed world, and these problems affect people at all income levels, not just the poorest.

The Equality Trust seeks to secure changes in policy and practice that reduce levels of economic equality. We do this by: working with relevant policymakers and other decision-makers; providing information and analysis on the scale, impact and drivers of economic inequality; promoting discussion of the links between inequality and key issues in UK public discourse; and supporting individuals and groups who work to reduce excessive inequality.

About the role

An ability to engage persuasively with policy makers, employers etc is also desirable. The appointee will be a key player at a growing organisation, working on one of the most timely issues on the national agenda.
