We are committed to attracting the highest calibre of job applicants through a fair and consistent recruitment process, treating all our candidates fairly to ensure we recruit the best person for each vacancy.

We endeavour to ensure we do not discriminate during any stage of the recruitment process and in particular comply with the Equality Act 2010 which makes it illegal to discriminate against protected characteristics i.e.  age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation. 

We also ensure personal information is removed from application forms prior to short listing and Equal Opportunities information is used for monitoring purposes only.  We also ensure that objective selection criteria are used, to ensure that appointments are made on merit. No one will be disadvantaged by recruitment and selection methods that cannot be objectively justified as reasonable.
