Looking for work

Accessible recruitment, applications, interviews and employment opportunities.

In simple terms

Recruitment should give disabled applicants a fair opportunity to apply, communicate and demonstrate their ability to do the job. Barriers in application systems, interviews or assessments can exclude people before their skills are considered.

Questions to help you understand the barrier

  • Is the application or interview process accessible to you?
  • Do you need an adjustment for an interview or assessment?
  • Is a requirement genuinely necessary for the job, or is it creating an avoidable barrier?

Possible next steps

  1. Request an accessible format or interview adjustment as early as possible.
  2. Describe the adjustment you need rather than giving more personal information than necessary.
  3. Keep a record of the request and the response.
