Equality and Diversity
The Alliance aims to employ the best possible staff and intends to offer equality of opportunity by ensuring that no person is disadvantaged of discriminated against in seeking employment or for any other reason during their employment with us.
Applicants will be considered on the basis of their suitability for the post, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, religious belief, ethnic origin, sexual orientation and disability. You will be assessed on your ability to meet the criteria set out in the person specification, so it is essential that you provide evidence of the skills and experience required for the post, preferably using specific examples.
We welcome applications from all sections of the community and value the individual differences that people can bring to the organisation. The Alliance expects all successful candidates to support our Diversity and Equality Policy.
Safeguarding children
Due to the nature of many of our posts, we may seek details about a successful applicants’ criminal record from the Criminal Records Bureau before any appointment is confirmed. This will include details of cautions, reprimands or final warnings, as well as convictions.
Having a conviction will not necessarily bar candidates from employment. This will depend on the circumstances and background to the offence(s) disclosed.
The Alliance meets the requirements in respect of exempted questions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
