Equal Opportunities

Beyond Equality strives to be an inclusive employer. We want to provide a working environment, and a recruitment and hiring process, that is welcoming, accessible and supportive for everybody - including and especially those who are marginalised in society. With this in mind, we’ve worked to create an application and recruitment process that is as straightforward and transparent as possible.

We welcome applicants with non-traditional educational backgrounds. If you are not sure whether you are qualified or experienced enough for a role, but you think you meet the person specification, we encourage you to apply anyway. 

We particularly welcome applications from people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, women, new or expectant parents/carers and disabled people. 

If there is anything else we can do to make the application and/or interview process more accessible for you, we want to hear about it, and will do our best to meet your requirements.

We are a diverse organisation and we appreciate the value of lived experience. When our team members want to draw on their own lived experience to inform aspects of their work, we do our best to support them - but we’ll never expect or require you to draw on your own experiences if you don’t want to, or to do extra work on the basis of any aspect of your identity.
