Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
Guide Dogs welcomes applications from all sections of the
community and actively encourages diversity to maximise achievements,
creativity and good practice. We positively welcome and seek to ensure we
achieve diversity in our workforce and that all job applicants and employees
receive equal and fair treatment, regardless of age, race, gender, religion,
sexual orientation, disability or nationality.
As a Disability Confident Employer, we are proud, whenever
possible, to offer an interview to all candidates that meet our selection
criteria, and who indicate they wish their application to be considered under
our Disability Confident interview commitment. For more details, visit our
careers site.
If you are successful you will need to provide evidence of
your right to work in the UK via our digital ID checking supplier; in addition,
we cannot offer visa sponsorship at this time.
Every day is different at Guide Dogs. And no person with
sight loss is the same. We work side by side, on our sites and in the
community, in schools and on our streets, supporting people to live the life
they choose. Our staff therefore also work in different ways to support the
delivery of our life changing work.
Safeguarding
Guide Dogs is committed to safeguarding and promoting the
welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk of harm with whom we
work. We expect all our employees and volunteers to fully share this
commitment.
At Guide Dogs, we believe in fair and equitable hiring practices. A criminal
record will not automatically disqualify an applicant from consideration for a
position. Each case will be evaluated individually, taking into account the
nature of the offense, its relevance to the role, and the time that has passed
since the incident. We encourage all candidates to disclose relevant
information, and we assure you that it will be handled confidentially and
fairly.
Guide Dogs follow Safer Recruitment practices to ensure we
are safeguarding the vulnerable people we work with. As part of this, we
require a full work history with any gaps accounted for & a minimum of 2
professional referee details fully covering the past 5 years. If you are
applying for a disclosure role, please note that you will be required to
undergo an enhanced DBS check and sign up to the DBS update service.
For high volumes of applications, we reserve the right to
close adverts earlier than advertised.
