Equal opportunities in employment

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has an Equal Opportunities in Employment Policy. We welcome applications irrespective of gender, gender reassignment, race, disability, colour, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, marital status, responsibility for dependants, religious orientation, trade union activity, social background, part-time employment or age, unless this is directly related to a genuine requirement of the job.

The disability vv symbol is a recognition given by Job Centre Plus to employers who have agreed to meet five commitments regarding the recruitment, employment, retention and career development of disabled people. Our commitment is to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the job vacancy and consider them on their ability. If we know you have a disability then we will make any reasonable adjustments required for you to attend interview, testing and subsequent employment.

One of the Trust's main aims is that all levels of its workforce should reflect the City's population and that everyone seeking jobs and promotion within the Trust has an equal chance.

Some of the ways in which we do this are:

• advertising jobs widely to give all sections of the community access to our jobs
• making sure that we only ask for particular qualifications or experience if they are essential

The Trust application form is available in large print, electronically and on pastel coloured paper to assist disabled candidates.

The Equal Opportunities in Employment Policy is here to ensure that both present and future employees are treated fairly. If you become an employee, you in turn will be obliged to follow this policy.
