Disability
We are a Disability Confident Employer. This means we ask all applicants to our vacancies to declare whether they have a disability so we can ensure we invite them to a selection process if they meet the minimum criteria on the person specification, and so we can make appropriate reasonable adjustments if required. Additionally, through our sickness absence and other procedures, where it comes to light that someone has a condition that may be considered a disability we make reasonable adjustments to accommodate their needs.
