We are proud to be part Disability Confident, a Government scheme which encourages employers to create a movement of change and think differently about disability, to take action to improve how we recruit, retain and develop disabled people.
At Ashall Care we commit to the following:
- Ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible, we will do this by:
- ensuring against discrimination
- making job adverts accessible
- providing information in accessible formats
- accepting applications in alternative formats
- Communicate and promote vacancies, we will do this by:
- advertising vacancies through a range of channels, and we will use our Disability Confident badge to make sure potential applicants know we are an inclusive employer
- getting advice and support from Jobcentre Plus, Work and Health Programme providers, recruiters and our local disabled people’s user led organisations (DPULOs)
- we will review our current recruitment processes
- Offer an interview to disabled people
- We will encourage applications by offering an interview to an applicant who declares they have a disability who meets the minimum criteria for the post advertised.
- Anticipate and provide reasonable adjustments as required
- As an employer we have a duty under he Equality Act 2010 to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ in the workplace where a disabled person would otherwise be put at a substantial disadvantage compared with their colleagues.
- Support any existing employee who acquires a disability or long term health condition, enabling them to stay in work.
