We are pleased to announce a new partnership between TWFRS and Teakisi, an organisation dedicated to empowering and amplifying the voices of minority communities across the North East.
This collaboration marks an exciting step forward in our commitment to inclusive recruitment, improved representation, and meaningful community engagement.
Why This Partnership Matters
As part of our ongoing efforts to build a workforce that reflects the communities we serve, we are working to:
Increase awareness of TWFRS career opportunities within minority and ethnic communities.
Improve representation and diversity across all parts of our organisation.
Build trust and visibility with community groups who may not have previously engaged with TWFRS.
Learn from lived experiences and cultural insight to strengthen our approach to inclusion.
Our partnership with Teakisi gives us a unique opportunity to connect with new audiences, gain valuable perspectives, and promote TWFRS as an employer of choice.
What Teakisi will bring to the Partnership
Teakisi will help us reach communities we don’t always have direct access to, by:
- Promoting TWFRS Careers
- Creating Engagement Opportunities
- Delivering Cultural Awareness Training
- Sharing Insight and Feedback
- Helping us better understand community perspectives to support improvements in inclusive recruitment.
How TWFRS will support the Partnership
Our role is to ensure this partnership is active, visible, and meaningful. We will:
- Promote the partnership proudly
- Engage directly with Teakisi’s community groups
- Share learning and build together
