Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging:

We are committed to building in inclusivity by default from the code we write to our recruitment process. We want  everyone to be themselves and for people to be valued for their skills, potential, experiences, and unique perspectives.

We continually look at what more we can do more of and how we can improve but some of the initiatives we are involved in at present include:

• Subscribing to the Real Living Wage, we also expect that our suppliers do the same.
• Recognised as Disability Confident Committed, which means that we commit to inclusive and accessible recruitment processes.

We recognise that landscapes are not equitable for everyone and the magic ingredient we are seeking in candidates is ‘potential’. So if you don’t quite meet all of the requirements in a job description but have other experience that you think makes you a great prospect, be bold and apply!

We embrace and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply - regardless of race/ethnicity, colour, religion, nationality, gender, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, neurodiversity, socio-economic status, culture or beliefs.

If you have accessibility needs that you would like us to be aware of, please let us know and we’ll make sure to design an interview format that works for you.
