Managing your disability during the recruitment process: requesting support and adjustments

Recruitment processes are designed to be challenging however, for those with a disability, they can prove impossible if appropriate support and adjustments are not provided.

Employers don’t intentionally have barriers in their recruitment processes however they recognise that barriers may exist for those who have a disability or health condition; this is why they offer adjustments and / or support. The aim of the adjustments / support is to ‘level the playing field’; to ensure that no-one is either advantaged or disadvantaged, and instead ensure that everyone has the same opportunity to demonstrate their potential.

Not surprisingly asking for this support can be incredibly difficult however, if you don’t request it, you may be rejected for roles that you are more than capable of doing.

During this webinar, you will have the opportunity to:

1. Develop your understanding about adjustments & support during the recruitment process
2. Explore the wide variety of support that employers can provide
3. Gain insights into how the adjustment process works
4. Build your confidence to request the support you require
