Government scheme run by the Department of Work & Pensions
Being Disability Confident can benefit CHS Healthcare in a number of ways. It can help us:
- Tap into the huge pool of talent amongst disabled people, and recruit, retain and develop people with the skills we need
- Increase our understanding of disability and how to make the most of the opportunities provided by employing disabled people
- Remove barriers that might be preventing disabled people and those with long term health conditions from accessing employment with us
- Play our part in ensuring that disabled people have opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations
As a Disability Confident employer, we have committed to:
- Ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible
- Offering an interview to all disabled applicants who meet our minimum criteria
- Communicating and promoting vacancies
- Anticipating and providing reasonable adjustments
- Supporting existing employees with long term medical conditions to stay in work
- At least one activity (from a prescribed list) towards making a difference to disabled people
