Commitment to equality

In 2016 we became accredited as a Level 2 Disability Confident Employer under the Department for Work and Pensions scheme.

We strive to incorporate equality and diversity into everything, so that it is an integral part of our business, and not just an ‘add on’.

Employees with disabilities are encouraged to be confident about demonstrating their skills and abilities at the council. We employ 8,000 staff, and our working practices make us a government-recognised ‘Disability Confident’ employer.

What does being Disability Confident mean?

We are proud to be a Disability Confident employer and guarantee an interview to anyone disclosing a disability whose application meets the minimum requirements for the job.

We recognise that interviews may be a challenging experience for some and that candidates who have declared a disability may have individual, special requirements. We'll make reasonable adjustments in order to accommodate individual needs of the candidates.

Access to work

Access to Work Scheme provides assessments of an individual’s needs and makes recommendations for equipment, support and adjustments that would benefit the individual within the workplace. Reasonable adjustments can be made once employed with us to make work as easy as possible for you.

 


Celebrating Diversity

We encourage employees to speak openly about their disabilities and help raise awareness by sharing their experiences with work colleagues through various awareness days.

We hope that our commitment removes any barriers for potential applicants and encourages them to show us what they can do. It’s also about doing more than just saying we’re committed to disability confidence, it’s about actually doing it.
