Jamie Burton Ministerial Support Officer

I have worked at Finance for over 13 years and have experienced the growth and cultural change around LGBTI people in the department.

Having identified openly as part of the LGBTI community since my late teens, I have always felt welcomed and included by the diverse teams I have worked in at Finance. I have never felt discriminated against because of my sexuality. Instead, I have felt supported and included in this highly professional work environment.
