Employing disabled people

We want to be a diverse organisation attracting people from all backgrounds – including talented and passionate disabled and non-disabled people.

Last time we collected this information, 7.8 percent of our staff classified themselves as disabled people.

While we don't have a specific target about the number of disabled people we want working for us, we do want to do more to make Scope a great place to work for disabled people. By doing this, we believe more disabled people will choose to join us. We have a set of initiatives underway to make this happen.

These include:

• changing the ways we advertise jobs to ensure that more disabled people see our adverts and are encouraged to apply
• piloting links with local disability organisations to promote working at Scope
• training specialist members of staff to ensure that we improve accessibility across Scope
• improving our managers' abilities to support disabled staff
• encouraging the development of a disabled staff network

We always welcome job applications from disabled people and, as a Two Ticks employer, we guarantee that all disabled applicants meeting the minimum criteria for the role will be invited for interview.
