Reaseheath College is a Disability Confident employer and is committed to employing and retaining both disabled people and those with health conditions. To help us to be a disability confident employer it is important that we know when individuals have a disability or health issue, which is why we ask for this information on our application form. The Recruiting Manager will be notified when candidates have indicated that they have a disability so that they are aware when it comes to interview. If a candidate ticks to indicate that they need any additional assistance or adjustments to attend the interview/assessment the Recruiting Manager will contact them prior to the day to discuss.
Unless it is in relation to finding candidates (for example, if an individual has put his/her details on social media websites for the purpose of attracting prospective employers), the HR team and managers will not, either themselves or through a third party, conduct searches on applicants on social media. This is because conducting these searches during the selection process might lead to a presumption that an applicant’s protected characteristics (for example, sexual orientation or religious beliefs) played a part in a recruitment decision.
