Company

Islington

Islington Together

We are determined to create a more equal Islington, where everyone who lives here has an equal chance to thrive.

Our Priorities

Our purpose is to achieve change for our residents who are at the heart of everything we do.

Listening to our communities, understanding their experiences and aligning our priorities with theirs is the only way to ensure that the changes we make, and the partnerships we form, are all contributing to improving the lives of our residents. Our priorities reflect what we know the people of Islington want for themselves and their neighbours and will sit at the heart of our plan to build a more equal future for everyone.

  • Invest in local jobs and businesses: We invest in local jobs and businesses to ensure a thriving local economy.
  • Cleaner, greener, healthier borough: We work together to create a cleaner, greener, healthier borough.
  • Nurture our children and young people: We nurture our children and young people in Islington so everyone has the very best start in life.
  • Stand with our communities so they are safe, connected and inclusive: We stand with our communities so they are safe, connected and inclusive
  • Secure, decent and genuinely affordable housing: We want everyone to have a place to call home which is secure, decent and genuinely affordable.

Islington is a borough of great strengths: thriving businesses; excellent transport links; outstanding services; and most importantly a rich and wonderful diversity of people, cultures and communities. But despite these strengths too many of our people are in danger of being left behind. Poverty, mental ill-health and anxiety about the future, lack of access to good jobs, poor air quality and housing conditions, prejudice, racism and injustice hold too many people back, depriving them of opportunities and choices and the autonomy to shape their lives in the way they want.

To assist us in achieving our priorities, we are continually looking for people who are able to work collaboratively, are ambitious, resourceful and able to empower others to help us shape the face of a 21st century HR Department.

Islington HR has reshaped its services. We’ve realigned our service provision to put digital, learning and innovation at the heart of what we do. We’ve created 3 new functions – HR Customer Delivery, Organisational Development and Strategic HR Partnering. Our vision is to be a trusted professional partner, empowering our managers and people to thrive and deliver better services for Islington.  By joining the team, you’ll play a vital role in enabling this, putting fairness and equality at the heart of everything we do – in our communities and our workplace.
