Disability Confident Guidance

All applicants whether applying via the ‘Disability Confident’ scheme or not should apply through the same application process. Once our recruitment team has received this application, we will send all applicants an email directing candidates to answer screening questions, which includes whether or not the applicant wishes to opt into the ‘Disability Confident’ scheme.

For each of our vacancies, we separate the essential criteria (minimum to be successful in the role) from the desirable criteria (enhances capacity to do the role well). To be considered under the ‘Disability Confident’ scheme, applicants should meet the minimum essential criteria for the role.

When you apply for our opportunities, you must be eligible for UK Security Clearance. For more information and guidance please click here.

If applicants meet the essential criteria and secruity requirements, our Talent Attraction Team will be in touch to coordinate an interview.

Please note:
There may be occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all disabled people that meet the ‘minimum criteria’ for the role.

For example, in certain recruitment situations such as high number of applications, we might limit the overall number of interviews offered to both disabled and non-disabled people.

In these circumstances we will select the candidates who best meet the ‘minimum criteria' and security requirements for the role rather than all of those that meet the minimum criteria and security requirements.
