Recruitment and selection

We are committed to recruiting a high-quality workforce with equality of opportunity at the core of our recruitment and selection procedures. It is our policy to recruit the most appropriate person for each approved vacancy and to support this approach, we ensure:

• Applications are anonymised at the shortlisting stage, so no personal information is available at this point in the recruitment process
• Reasonable adjustments are offered throughout the recruitment and selection process to ensure candidates with a disability are not disadvantaged
• We commit to interviewing all candidates who have a disability or are veterans of the armed forces, who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy
• We provide training and guidance to those with recruitment responsibilities, to ensure the process is followed and non-discriminatory
• The application documentation contains an equal opportunity monitoring form, used for monitoring purposes and compiling performance information
