Inclusion and belonging at MOD
We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to thrive. We value difference and recognise that diverse perspectives strengthen decision-making and delivery across Defence.
We support flexible and inclusive working, provide reasonable adjustments where needed, and work to remove barriers so people can perform at their best. Our staff networks play an important role in shaping policy, sharing insight, and strengthening a sense of belonging.
Inclusion is everyone’s responsibility. Leaders at all levels are expected to role-model inclusive behaviours and foster fair, supportive, and respectful working environments.
A place where you can thrive
As a civil servant in Defence, your work has genuine impact. You’ll contribute directly to the Ministry of Defence’s mission and values, helping to deliver outcomes that support national security.
We offer a broad range of career opportunities within an environment that is inclusive, supportive, and fair. Our aim is for everyone regardless of background, identity, or faith, to feel valued and empowered to fulfil their potential.
“When I applied, it was because I wanted career opportunities, career progression – and that’s exactly what I’ve found here.”
