14 | WORKING AT KEELE
Equality, Diversity
and Inclusion
Keele University values equality
and diversity across our
workforce and welcomes
applications from individuals
from all sectors of society.
Where there is evidence of under-representation of a particular group in
a specific type of role or at a certain grade the University is committed to
taking appropriate action to actively encourage applications from that group.
The University is keen to support all applicants during the recruitment
and selection process where possible and particularly those with additional
requirements. Applicants with disabilities are asked to identify in their
application if they require any adjustments to the process. If shortlisted
candidates have childcare responsibilities, the University may be able
to provide on-site care during the interview/selection process, subject
to availability. If childcare is not available Skype interviews can be explored.
Applicants are asked to discuss their specific needs with the recruiting manager.
The University aims to support employees to balance work/life commitments,
which includes giving consideration to requests for flexible working, part-time
working, job-share, etc.
As a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme silver award holder and having
signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant the University supports the Armed
Forces and welcomes applications from members of the Armed Forces
community (veterans, service leavers, reservists, Cadet Force adult volunteers
and spouses of serving personnel).
