Why come to Hackney?
<h4>Hackney Council is an organisation that is passionate about our people and understands that richness of diversity is a requirement to provide the best possible services to our communities. This is demonstrated through our council-wide ambitious commitment to tackle racial inequality in our communities and workforce through our&nbsp;Anti-Racism framework, which was formally adopted in February 2024. See&nbsp;p<a href="https://hackney.gov.uk/plans-strategies/#antiracism" target="_blank">lans, policies and strategies – Anti-racism framework</a>.</h4>
Hackney has a strong strengths-based and person-centred approach in
which we prioritise maintaining and promoting people’s independence, and we are very proud that as a result, 85% of the people who use our services live in the community. 78.8% of our residents live independently after receiving reablement support and 89.4% of older residents live at home 91 days after a hospital&nbsp;discharge, outcomes which are higher than the London average.
We’re serious about collaboration and co-production and we work in better and more innovative ways because of this. For example, we’ve built strong connections with our Hackney Council colleagues in Housing and in Benefits and Homeless Prevention (for example in the Health, Housing, and Homelessness Panel and in&nbsp;multidisciplinary team approaches that are ensuring adults facing multiple vulnerabilities receive holistic support).
We believe accessible learning opportunities are crucial to our performance and our staff’s wellbeing and have a dedicated Practice Innovation and Workforce Capability team who work closely with the Principal Social Worker to develop our Continuous Professional Development offer.
