Equal opportunities

We believe in valuing diversity and one of our main aims as an employer is to ensure that everyone seeking a job or promotion within the Council has an equal chance of success. We believe that all individuals should be treated the same and not judged or discriminated against on the grounds of race, skin colour, ethnic origin, nationality, culture, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, class, marital status or responsibility for dependants.

Equality Standard Award

The County Council has recently been awarded Level 3 of the Local Government Equality Standard. As an employer the authority is recognised as having a national standard in place for equality with policies to protect employee rights and a fair and equal pay structure for all employees.

Disability

As a user of the disability symbol, we guarantee an interview to all applicants who meet the essential requirements of a vacant post. Please let us know of any special requirements as soon as possible so we can plan the interview. If you are an existing employee who becomes disabled we will make every effort to assist you in continuing in your present post. If this is not possible, we will consider other ways of retaining you in employment.
