Equality, diversity and disability

We welcome job applications from all parts of the community, and we appoint on merit.

This is because we believe in developing a workforce whose diversity reflects the community that we serve.

Disability

NHS Direct has a positive approach to employing disabled people. That’s why we have been awarded the ‘2 ticks’ Disability Symbol.

This means we meet five commitments regarding the employment, retention, training and career development of disabled employees.

We include the Disability Symbol on our job adverts to show that:

• we welcome applications from disabled people, and
• we treat all candidates and employees fairly, regardless of their disability.

The Disability Symbol is a circular symbol, and usually green with 2 ticks.
