Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our recruitment and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment, where diversity is valued, there is equality of opportunity and all areas of the community we serve are represented. We therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community and want to make sure that everyone has equal access to our employment opportunities.
Within the application form you will find an Equality Monitoring form that collects additional personal information about all applicants. This is an optional form that is stored centrally, securely and confidentially by the Human Resources team and not shared with the recruiting manager or the shortlisting and interview panels.
Your application is assessed solely on your application form, which does not include this form which is saved securely and separately from the rest of your application.
This data is collected to identify trends in those applying for jobs with us. This helps us to ensure the effectiveness of our recruitment and selection process, as well as improve our policies and practices.
We are happy to provide assistance and reasonable adjustments to help applicants that consider themselves to have a disability.
Job profiles, person specifications and application forms can be provided in an alternative format (such as large print). Please contact HR on 01353 665555 to find out more.
If you consider yourself to have a disability and need us to make any reasonable adjustments as part of the selection process, please let us know.
