The University is fully committed to supporting disabled job applicants, disabled employees and employees who become disabled in the course of their employment.
Our legal responsibiities are important to us, however, the moral and business case for creating an inclusive work and study environment form the basis of the strategic and operational priorities.
Disabled applicants and employees are supported in a number of ways:

Guaranteed Interview Scheme

Disabled applicants can opt into the Guaranteed Interview Scheme if they wish. The Scheme is voluntary and offers an interview to applicants who meet the "Essential Criteria" in the Person Specification.

For further information on the Guaranteed Interview Scheme email Janine Chalmers, Equality and Diversity Adviser or telephone 01224 273883

Adjustments

The University will make reasonable adjustments to allow a disabled employee to undertake their duties. This could, for example, be a change to the employee's workstation, working hours, working methods or duties.
