Equality
We have Equality and Diversity statements within our Recruitment and Selection Policy which aims to eliminate discrimination in employment. Candidates are selected on merit only, therefore all applicants will be afforded equal opportunities in employment irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, religion or belief.
We’re committed to monitoring equality information, but we need your help to do this. Candidates who consider themselves to be disabled will also be given the opportunity to attend an interview if they meet the essential criteria for the role.
A disability or health problem does not preclude prospective applicants from consideration for a job and applications are encouraged from disabled people. Disabled applicants whose impairment prevents them from carrying out any aspects of a post are still encouraged to apply since it may be possible to change the duties of a post, or to provide specialist equipment by way of a reasonable adjustment. You are asked to indicate in the relevant section of the Application Form whether your disability may prevent you from undertaking any of the duties of the post and why.
If you have difficulty completing the Application Form due to your disability, please contact the HR Team. You should ensure that you demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria in the person specification. Disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria of a vacant post will usually be offered an interview. You are asked to indicate in the relevant section of the Application Form any arrangements which may need to be made in order for you to attend an interview.
