Inclusion and Wellbeing Advisor

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Inclusion and Wellbeing Advisor to join our Responsible Business team to help drive forward the delivery of the firm's Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) strategy, taking the lead on supporting our employee resource groups, delivering internal D&I engagement programmes, providing delivery support to specific business areas and delivering key projects as they arise.

This is an exciting time to join the team following the arrival of our new Head of Responsible Business, Kate Millar, who joined OC in February 2024.

This role can be based in any of our UK offices (London, Bristol or Reading), and we support hybrid and flexible working patterns.

About us

People are at the heart of our business and this is an exciting time to be supporting the firm in adapting to the future of work. Our Responsible Business team is highly respected for the central and strategic role it plays in making Osborne Clarke a great place to work. The team has grown rapidly over recent years, thanks to the firm's investment in our Osborne Clarke For Good framework, targets and programme delivery. We work across all three UK offices on sustainability, corporate responsibility, diversity & inclusion and wellbeing strategies. We are a friendly, fun and supportive team, working closely together to help ensure Osborne Clarke's continued growth and success.

Osborne Clarke (OC) is a future-focused international legal practice with over 1600 colleagues in the UK and 26 offices around the world*. Our three-dimensional approach to client service combines legal expertise, in-depth understanding of our clients and the sectors they operate in, together with insight into the global issues that are transforming the landscape of how we live, work and do business: Decarbonisation, Digitalisation and Urban Dynamics. Looking around corners to help our clients solve legal and business challenges, big and small, and harness the opportunities of change - together we'll be ready for what's next.

We love working closely with our clients on new deals, products and solutions which will transform their businesses, markets and even sectors. And our unique approachable culture is not an added extra, it's fundamental to our success.
