As a Disability Confident Employer, we encourage those with disabilities to apply for jobs under the Disability Confident Scheme. People applying under the Disability Confident Scheme disclose they have a disability and meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy will be offered an interview.  

Whilst not all two tick candidates are guaranteed an interview, those candidates that meet the minimum essential criteria when shortlisted must be invited to Interview under the 'Guaranteed Interview Scheme'. 

Where reasonable adjustments are request prior to interview, we will do out best to accommodate those needs.
