 We are a two tick employer and commit ourselves to:

 The Five Commitments

1.    To interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and to consider them on their abilities

2.    To ensure there is a mechanism in place to discuss, at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled employees what can be done to make sure they can develop and use their abilities.

3.    To make every effort when an employee becomes disabled to make sure they stay in employment

4.    To take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work; and

5.    Each year, to review the five commitments and what has been achieved, to plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans.

Have you time to spare? 

We are always looking out for volunteers to help us deliver our services.  We have a vacancy for a one-off assignment, perhaps you can help.  Go to our 'Volunteers' page now!  (Click on 'People' and then sub-menu 'Volunteers')
