We Value Diversity—In Experience, Background, and Perspective
As a disabled people led organisation, DR UK is keen to increase the number of disabled people it employs and as an organisation we are committed to minimising disadvantages that groups with particular protected characteristics face in the workforce. We, therefore, encourage applications from individuals, who meet the requirements of the role and who identify as either:
- Having lived experience of disability, long-term health conditions, or other access needs
- A member of the Global Majority (people from Black, Asian, Mixed, and other ethnic groups who often racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’)
- A member of the LGBTQ+ community
We are committed to equity and accessibility throughout our recruitment process. We recognise that not everyone will meet every essential requirement listed, and we value transferable skills, potential, and diverse perspectives. We encourage you to apply if you meet most of the requirements.
We’re happy to make reasonable adjustments at any stage. If there’s anything you need to take part fully—whether that’s alternative formats, flexible interview arrangements, or support with access—please let us know when you apply. We will share interview questions in advance so you have a chance to think about your answers.
Applying for a role
We ask you to apply through our online recruitment site.
In your supporting statement we’d like to know why you’re interested in joining us and the skills and experience you bring that you feel makes you a good candidate for the role. We recommend you keep this at 1-2 pages.
Please submit your CV and a supporting statement outlining how you meet the person specification via the job link on this page. Alternatively, you can send your supporting statement as a video or audio clip, alongside your CV. Any video or audio submissions should be emailed to
recruitment@disabilityrightsuk.org
You can also request an informal conversation about the role, contact
recruitment@disabilityrightsuk.org to arrange this. Having a call of this kind will not influence the success or otherwise of your application.
We operate an anonymous shortlisting process for all applications. This means that the hiring manager will not be able to see your name or any equality and diversity data you provide during the shortlisting process.
Feedback
We’ll always let you know the outcome of you application but it can sometimes be several weeks after you apply. We provide feedback to candidates who attend interview. Usually, we are unable to provide feedback to anyone who is not shortlisted for interview.
We understand AI can be a helpful tool, but please use it with caution and ensure your application is personalised and accurate.
