We aim to recruit, employ and promote colleagues solely on the basis of ability to fulfill the job requirements. We recognise the benefits of diversity – it gives us different perspectives and a much richer mix of experience. It also means we're better equipped to understand the needs and priorities of all our customers.

Our employment decisions are based on ability and potential regardless of gender, race, colour, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religious belief, age, disability, marital status (including civil partnerships) pregnancy or maternity or gender re-assignment. 

We also try and make sure everyone can work in a way that suits their circumstances - we support flexible working, offering part-time roles and encouraging job-sharing opportunities and shift swapping where possible.
