About the vacancy

Guaranteed Interview Scheme

We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all candidates during the selection process, to enable us to select staff from a diverse pool of talent. Part of that commitment is that we guarantee an interview to any candidate who has a disability, as defined by the Equality Act 2010*, and declares their disability as part of the scheme, provided that they meet the minimum (essential eligibility) criteria (skills and competencies) for the post(s) in question, as set out in the job advertisement. The Equality Act 2010 defines someone as a disabled person if a) they have a physical or mental impairment; and b) the impairment has a substantial and long term adverse effect on their ability to carry out one or more normal day to day activities. Do you consider yourself to have a disability as defined in the Equality Act 2010 and wish to claim a guaranteed interview? If you give any information that you know is false, this may lead to your application being rejected, or, if you have already been appointed, your dismissal.

Eligibility:

You should satisfy yourself that you are eligible before you apply. If you are successful at interview a complete eligibility enquiry will be made. If you are uncertain about any aspect of your eligibility, please contact us. If you give any information that you know is false, or you withhold any relevant information, this may lead to your application being rejected, or, if you have already been appointed, your dismissal.

I declare that the information I have given is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true and complete.

General Data Protection Regulations:

Any personal data, supplied with this application, will be reviewed by interview panel members for selection purposes, and may be retained for auditing purposes. Should you be selected, the data will form part of your personnel file. Please note that equality and diversity monitoring data is anonymous and is not shared with panel members or third parties. This data is highly restricted, held securely and individuals are not identifiable.

To progress this application we may need to disclose the information we receive from you to others, (including other public bodies, other central government departments, or our authorised agents). Information (including personal data) may also be released on request, but will only be released if permitted by law.
