A Bit About Me

I’m Andrea Derbyshire, the HR, Diversity, and Inclusion Consultant behind Andrea Jane Consultancy, which I founded in 2018.

If we haven’t connected yet, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s link up on LinkedIn

Andrea Jane Consultancy is female-led, qualified, experienced and professional with a can do pragmatic approach that  helps you to get the best out of people, improve your culture and equality performance and minimise risk. 

I have a friendly way of working that quickly builds strong relationships with clients giving clear no nonsense advice and delivering the right skills, and the right service at the right time. 

I have over 27 years HR experience at a senior level specialising in in equality, diversity and inclusion.  I have worked across industries such as Telecommunications, Retail, The Voluntary Sector, IT and Healthcare.  

I have 15 years experience in the NHS and led the equality, diversity and inclusion agenda across three NHS hospitals in the NHS for a decade including  work at a national level and leading the hospital in to the top ten of the Stonewall Health Equality Index.

I am a chartered fellow of the CIPD (FCIPD).

In 2019 I set up the Diversity & Inclusion Leaders Space Facebook group for people working on, in or passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion to work together to share ideas, resources, ask questions and learn from each other.   If you would like to join the group click on the icon below.
