Disability Confident Employer & Reasonable Adjustments
We know that interviews and assessments don’t always reflect someone’s true potential without the right adjustments. That’s why we’re committed to making reasonable adjustments in line with the Equality Act 2010 that give everyone an equal opportunity to join our team. If you require reasonable adjustments to any stage of the process, please contact [email protected] so we can discuss how we can support you.
Here are some of the ways we could support you:
- Providing job descriptions or interview questions in alternative formats (e.g. large print, easy-read, audio)
- Sharing interview questions in advance where appropriate
- Offering extra information about the process so you know what to expect
- Ensuring interview locations are fully accessible (step-free access, lifts, accessible parking)
- Allowing extra time during interviews, assessments or tests
- Scheduling interviews at times that work around medical needs or caring responsibilities.
Disability Confident Employer
We are proud to be part of the movement of change that encourages employers to think differently about disability, taking positive action to recruit, retain and develop disabled people. As part of our membership of the ‘Disability Confident Employer’ Scheme; if you disclose you have a disability on your application form, or by contacting us directly, and you meet all of the essential criteria of the role, you will be automatically offered an interview.
