Our memberships

The Trust is committed to creating a positive, supportive working environment for all its staff and works with a number of organisations to raise equality, diversity and inclusion awareness and achieve accreditation.

Disability Confident

The Trust is a Disability Confident Employer, having achieved Level 2 of the Government’s Disability Confident Commitment. We’ve committed to the following:

• Actively attracting and recruiting disabled people to help fill our opportunities, including offering guaranteed interviews for disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the roles they’re applying for.
• Providing a fully inclusive and accessible recruitment process and proactively offering and making reasonable adjustments for candidates as required.
• Promoting a culture of being Disability Confident through our staff network I-CAN, mental health awareness training for managers and creating a flexible work environment where disabled staff are treated equitably, supported and feel safe to disclose where needed.
