Reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process
If you would like to discuss any reasonable adjustments we can make to the application process, please get in touch with our recruitment team.
Adjustments could include, but are not limited to, availability of job descriptions and application forms in different formats such as large print or braille; correspondence or anything you may need when visiting us for an interview (for example, additional time for those with dyslexia); a job coach to attend and support you, or the provision of assistive technology.
If I am shortlisted for interview, do I have to disclose my disability?
There is no legal obligation for you to disclose that you have a disability (unless there are very specific health and safety risks). However, you may wish to inform a Recruitment Coordinator of your disability so that we can support you and ensure any reasonable adjustments are put in place.
How we'll support you if you're appointed
We are committed to building disability confidence and supporting staff with disabilities. If you are appointed, we'll work with you to make any necessary reasonable adjustments to how and where you work.
Our campus and city buildings are disability friendly with lifts and ramps for ease of access to wheelchair users. We have multiple disabled parking bays across our car parks which are available to staff.
