Councillor Joseph Ejiofor

I am a London-born Spurs fan, who has represented Bruce Grove Ward since 2010. Also, uniquely amongst current Haringey Councillors, I have the experience of previously being elected three times as a Councillor in another London borough (Newham). I am currently a governor at two Haringey schools (Bruce Grove Primary, and Tetherdown) and I have been a school governor for over 15 years.

Thus far, I have spent three years on scrutiny, and I am currently the Chair of West Green & Bruce Grove Area Assembly.

I come from a working class background; not from wealth or privilege. My first job was stacking shelves in a Fine fare supermarket (where I first joined a Trades Union – USDAW – at 16), and I worked for 9 years on London Underground. I graduated as a mature student with an honours degree in Politics and Government.

Over the past 15 years, I have worked as a manager in the public, private and the voluntary sectors; specialising in ‘risk and performance management’ and ‘diversity and change management’. Over the past couple of years, I have worked predominantly for myself in a number of freelance consultancy roles.

I am married and we have two primary school age daughters.

I am ardently pro-European, and I was a Labour European Parliamentary candidate in 2004. I am proud to be a member of the Labour Party, The Co-operative Party, and Haringey Credit Union.
