Inclusion & accessibility
London’s diversity is its greatest strength, and we want our workforce to reflect it at every level. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, particularly from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and disabled candidates, who are currently underrepresented.
We are committed to an inclusive and accessible recruitment process. If you need any adjustments at any stage, please contact jo.durham@london.gov.uk
Adjustments may include (but are not limited to):
As a Disability Confident Employer, candidates who meet the essential criteria and opt into the scheme will be prioritised for the next stage of the process.

Our Commitment
We are committed to being an inclusive employer and we are happy to consider flexible working arrangements. In addition to a good salary package, we offer an attractive range of benefits including 30 days’ annual leave, an interest-free season ticket loan, an interest-free bicycle loan and a career average pension scheme.
We use AI-assisted tools to help assess application responses against the published criteria. All shortlisting decisions are reviewed and confirmed by recruiters, and no candidate is progressed or rejected solely by AI. The assessment focuses only on evidence against the required competencies and does not consider personal or protected characteristics.
Every day, we help millions of people to make journeys across London: By Tube, bus, tram, car, bike – and more. People don’t associate us with journeys by river, on foot or via the air, but we help with that, too. Getting people to where they need to go has been our business for over 100 years, and it shows. We’re leaders in our field, and no other city’s transport system is quite as recognisable: Red buses, black taxis, Tube trains and roundels have become icons in their own right.
Our main job is to keep the city moving, working and growing but to do that, we have to listen. Constant improvements across the network are fuelled by feedback and comments from customers, as well as work within communities, representative groups, businesses and other London transport stakeholders.
But our progress also depends on technology and data. With the future at our fingertips, we’ve already used it to revolutionise travel payments (think Oyster and contactless payment cards), and improved travel information. Tech and data is essential, not just to our future, but to others’: third parties use our data to power apps and services vital to customer journeys.
So what’s next? As well as continuing to deliver Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s strategy and commitments on transport, our programme of capital investments is still one of the largest. We launched the Elizabeth line, we’re modernising services and stations and making travel safer for all.
