Guaranteed Interview Scheme

What does the scheme offer?
The aim of the Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) is to provide disabled applicants with an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities beyond the initial application stage. Disabled applicants will be offered an interview providing they meet the minimum criteria for the job.
By ‘minimum criteria’ we mean that you must provide us with evidence in your application form which demonstrates that you generally meet the level of competence required for each essential criteria, as well as meeting any of the qualifications, skills or experience defined as essential.
Who is eligible for the scheme?
To be eligible for the Guaranteed Interview Scheme you must be considered as disabled under the Equality Act 2010.
The Act says that a person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Physical or mental impairment includes sensory impairments such as those affecting sight or hearing.
Long-term means that the impairment has lasted or is likely to last for at least 12 months or for the rest of the affected person’s life.
If you want to apply for the Guaranteed Interview Scheme please complete and return the appropriate form and return with your application form.
Please note that declaring a disability for the purpose of qualifiying for the GIS is your decision and is entirely voluntary.
