Information for disabled applicants

Support for applicants:
We want to ensure that all candidates have equal access to our recruitment and selection procedures.

This will enable us make any reasonable adjustments. Any information provided will not inform any part of the recruitment and selection process.
Some buildings on campus are more accessible than others. The job information should provide details of where the post is located. You can review access to buildings by contacting the department directly and additional information is available by contacting the Recruitment Officer whose contact details are shown below.
Disabled applicants are not obliged to inform employers of their disability but will still be covered by the Disability Discrimination Act once their disability becomes known.

Support for staff:
We recognise that some staff members with a disability, impairment or long-term health condition may require practical adjustments, once in post, to enable them to carry out their role. If, during the recruitment process, you would like to discuss any adjustments that you might require to enable you to carry out the role you are applying for, you are welcome to contact the Recruitment Officer, whose contact details are shown below, to discuss this further.
