We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to represent the city we serve, which will help us become a more innovative and efficient organisation. Our goal is to make our recruitment as inclusive as possible. We are a disability‑confident employer who guarantees an interview to any disabled candidate who meets all of the essential criteria. We also use anonymising software that removes identifying information from CVs and cover letters to make the process fair.

All offers of employment are subject to satisfactory right‑to‑work checks, and candidates must be able to demonstrate their legal right to work in the UK. In certain circumstances, TfL may sponsor Skilled Worker visas for roles and individuals that meet the required eligibility criteria, including those covered by transitional rules.

At Transport for London, safety, trust and fairness sit at the heart of how we recruit. Our Vetting Charter () explains the checks we carry out before you join us, helping ensure we create a safe, inclusive and reliable network for everyone who depends on our services. We simply ask that the information you provide is honest and accurate so we can progress your application smoothly.

If something doesn’t match or can’t be verified, we may not be able to move forward with your application, but we’ll always treat you with transparency, respect, and clear communication throughout.
