We were one of the first major organisations to set goals for diversity in senior roles, introduce a menopause health package and establish a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. As an inclusive employer, we offer workplace adjustments for colleagues with a disability, including long-term health and neurodivergent conditions, where reasonable. If you need an adjustment during the recruitment process, please let us know.
