Diversity and inclusion
Vicinity strives to create a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve. Our workplace practices prevent discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability status.
Values
At Vicinity, we believe that a strong culture of social responsibility is necessary to serve the communities we operate in best. The values of service excellence, inclusion, teamwork, respect, innovation, and community-mindedness drive our team.
