Equal opportunities

Equal job opportunities

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

We hold the Silver Diversity Mark in recognition of our commitment to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce. 

Equal opportunities questionnaire 

You must complete an equal opportunities questionnaire. 

This helps us meet our legal duties under the Fair Employment (Monitoring) Regulations (NI) 1999. 

The questionnaire: 

• is removed from your application form 
• is kept secure 
• is used for monitoring only

The shortlisting and interview panel will not see this information. 

Help is available

If you need help during the recruitment process, email [email protected].

This includes if: 

• you have a disability 
• English is not your first language 
• you have difficulty with any part of the process

The email is monitored from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm excluding public holidays

Some selection methods are part of the essential criteria.

All applicants must complete and pass these.
