Equality and diversity

Being the power behind the network is a responsibility that we take very seriously indeed. 

So we are focused only on working safely with passion and purpose, trusting each other and working collaboratively to get the job done. 

That means delivering on our clear commitment to empowering an inclusive workplace that offers equality of opportunity and is free from unfair and discriminatory employment practices. 

We strive to maintain a workplace that values diversity and wellbeing by accepting and respecting individual differences such as ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical abilities, marital status, employment status, religion or belief. 

National Grid Electricity Distribution selects, promotes and treats people only on the basis of their abilities and merits, and the needs of the job. 

We welcome applications from talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. 

Employees can trust that they will be given equal opportunity and training, where appropriate, to demonstrate their ability and to progress within the organisation.

Our culture is more than a mission statement or set of values. It's everything we put into everything we do. It's our commitment to diversity and inclusion; how we help our employees learn and grow; and how we partner with and support the communities where we live and work. It's all this, and so much more. 

"I fundamentally believe that it's our people that make National Grid such a great place to work, and ensuring that we create the right environment to allow everyone to be themselves and to thrive is essential."

John Pettigrew, Chief Executive, National Grid.
