Our commitment to those with a disability
We are signed up and committed to the Disability Confident scheme. We make sure that we will not treat a disabled person any less favourably because of their disability and will offer an interview to anyone with a disability who meets the essential criteria on the person specification. We are committed to making sure that disabled people and those with long term health conditions have the opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.
If you are successful with your application, we will do our best to look at what reasonable changes or adjustments we can make to our working practices and workplace to overcome any effects of your disability.
