Breakfast Service Specialist Casual

Recruitment Approach

We adopt an ‘anonymous recruitment’ approach to shortlisting. Recruiting managers will not have access to personal information, including your name and contact details, until a shortlisting decision has been made. We are committed to recruiting, retaining, and developing a workforce that reflects the communities we serve. Sharing your equality monitoring data allows us to assess the impact of our recruitment and employment policies and gives us the opportunity to improve them where possible.

Equality monitoring information is not accessible by recruiting managers at any stage.
