We're proud to have become the latest employer to and reduce barriers to employment for people with criminal records. Employers often ask candidates about criminal convictions at the initial stage of a job application. If so, people with convictions are often excluded from roles for which they may be qualified and capable of doing.

By signing up in the Community's Ban the Box campaign, we have committed to:

  • Removing the tick box from our job application forms that asks about criminal convictions
  • Considering applicants' skills, experience, and ability to do the job before asking about criminal convictions
  • Ensuring that the circumstances of any convictions are fairly assessed before a decision is made

If you are unable to apply via the usual process, please call to discuss in more detail.
