Disability Support

We are a Disability Confident employer, which means that we will make reasonable adjustments to help you perform at your best.

• make changes to the interview process, for example hold a face-to-face interview rather than a telephone-based interview when this would be beneficial
• provide tests in alternative format
• ensure that our online tests are compatible with software such as speech to text for candidate with Dexterity conditions.
• give more time for someone with dyslexia to do any written or reading tests that are part of the interview process
• provide the tests on pastel coloured paper, if this would be beneficial to candidates with dyslexia
• ask a candidate who is deaf or has hearing loss their preference on communication and book assistance (e.g., interpreter) if needed
• when interviewing a candidate who is deaf of has hearing loss, to consider the light source so as not to put lips in a shadow and to keep background noise at minimum.
• give candidates the use of a computer/laptop for a written test
• allow extra time for presentations for someone with a speech condition – to prepare and deliver
• Using an accessible font for any handouts
• offer multiple ways of getting in touch during the recruitment process (e.g., phone and email)

This is a short list to give some examples only and it must not be understood to be an exhaustive list of what we can or cannot do to support candidates.
