Equality & Diversity

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from everyone. We judge people on the basis of their skills and experience and what they bring to the Association, not on any personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, impairment, religious belief, sexuality or age.

We value workforce diversity, believing that it is when people from different backgrounds, with different perceptions and ideas work together that a higher standard of service is achieved. Consequently, we actively promote applications from disabled people and black and minority ethnic people as these groups are under represented in our workforce.

We employed an Equalities Officer to undertake an intensive two-year review of all policies and practices to ensure that nothing that we do is discriminatory, to promote workforce diversity and to provide training on equal opportunities for all of our members of staff.

We are Positive About Disabled People. This means that we are serious about ensuring that disabled people can access and stay in our employment and that we guarantee an interview to all disabled candidates who meet the minimum requirements as set out in the person specification.
