Work for us : Inclusive recruitment
Inclusive recruitment
We’re dedicated to building a genuinely inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and supported.
We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. Inclusion isn’t just a policy for us; it’s part of our everyday culture. We expect all staff to uphold and promote our Trust values, treating colleagues and service users with dignity and respect.
We’re proud of the national accreditations that reflect our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion:
Race Equality Matters Silver Trailblazer
Neurodiversity in Business Corporate Member
Disability Confident Leader
Carer Confident Level 2
Stonewall Workplace Equality Index (soon to be Proud Employers)
Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award
Fair recruitment and selection
We recruit based on merit and our Trust values, using fair and transparent processes to reduce bias and discrimination.
We operate a Guaranteed Interview Scheme for:
- disabled applicants
- members of the armed forces community
- applicants from ethnically diverse backgrounds (for Band 8b-and-above roles)
If you meet the essential criteria for the role, you’ll be offered an interview. We’re committed to making reasonable adjustments for interviews, as well as workplace adjustments once you join. We also support flexible working wherever possible.
Staff networks and support
We have active staff networks for race equality, LGBTQIA+, disability, neurodiversity, carers, administrators, and the armed forces community. They offer peer support, learning and development, and a strong collective voice to improve our workplace for everyone.
We also provide tailored support for veterans transitioning into civilian employment.
