Explore how you can make recruitment more inclusive - from job adverts and application processes to interviews and onboarding.
Reasonable adjustments are ways in which we can change our working environment or arrangements to make sure what we do is as accessible and inclusive as possible. From members of staff and volunteers to service users, these changes should remove disadvantages at all levels.
But how do we get started, and what can we do to ensure we’re making our services truly accessible?
Join us for a practical introduction to inclusive recruitment, designed to help charities and nonprofit organisations attract, recruit and retain a wider range of talented people.
Recruitment practices, from job adverts and application processes to interviews and onboarding, can unintentionally create barriers for disabled and neurodivergent candidates. We will share practical, achievable approaches that support fairer recruitment, improve candidate experiences and help organisations build more inclusive workplaces.
About the trainer
Training for this session forms part of our Disability & Reasonable Adjustments programme, facilitated by Evenbreak.
Evenbreak are a specialist inclusive recruitment and training organisation, led by people with lived experience of disability. This high-quality training – designed and delivered by the organisation’s Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent colleagues – will bring clarity and warmth to the subject, and ensure people feel capable of engaging with change rather than anxious about getting it wrong.
Please note: This training forms part of our regular HR Networking and Support meeting – a networking opportunity for those responsible for HR within their Somerset-based organisation. Training will take place during the first 30 minutes of the session. Attendees are welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting, or leave once the training has finished.
This session is ideal for HR professionals, recruiting managers and anyone involved in attracting and appointing VCFSE staff who wants to build confidence in creating more inclusive recruitment processes.
Session attendees are also eligible for one of 50 Best Practice Portal licenses, which grants access to a learning hub filled with micro-learning modules, lived experience insights, and practical resources to help build your confidence.
