The Bikeability Trust recruitment policy

General

  • The Bikeability Trust is committed to applying our equality, diversity, and inclusion policy at all stages of recruitment and selection. We always carry out shortlisting, interviewing and selection without regard to an applicant’s sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, skin colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origins, religion or belief, age, pregnancy or maternity leave or trade union membership.  
  • The Bikeability Trust actively promotes equality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, skills and potential and we welcome applications from a wide range of candidates, including those with criminal records. 
  • The Bikeability Trust select all candidates for interview based on their skills, qualifications and experience. 
  • An application for a criminal record check is only submitted to DBS after a thorough risk assessment has indicated that one is both proportionate and relevant to the position concerned. For those positions where a criminal record check is identified as necessary, all application forms, job adverts and recruitment briefs will contain a statement that an application for a DBS certificate will be submitted in the event of the individual being offered the position.

Application

  • All roles include an information pack about the job to help you to decide whether or not to apply. This pack will normally contain an application form and equal opportunities monitoring form and policy statement, a job description, person specification and further particulars. In some cases additional information will be provided.

Shortlisting

  • Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within three weeks of the closing date and will receive clear details about the date, time and location of the interview.

  • You will only be assessed against the job-related shortlisting criteria obtained from the person specification. 
  • We will not provide feedback to candidates who are not shortlisted for interview.
