GUARANTEED INTERVIEW SCHEME

The Home Office is committed to the employment and career development of disabled people. To demonstrate our commitment we use the Disability Symbol which is awarded by the Employment Service. As a symbol user, we guarantee an interview to anyone with a disability whose application meets the minimum criteria for the post.

Applicants who consider themselves to have a disability and who meet the published essential requirements (minimum criteria) for the job will be guaranteed an interview.

For some posts we require applicants for jobs to attend an assessment centre for tests. Standard practice is for applicants to be selected for assessment via initial tests and/or an application form. Where a disabled candidate meets the minimum criteria for invitation to an assessment centre, this must be accepted as fulfilling the requirements of commitment 1 of the Disability Symbol – the guaranteed interview, i.e. the assessment centre must be regarded as the interview, whether or not an actual interview is part of the tests.

How do I apply?Simply complete this form.

Please give details of any disability that you have below:............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

We have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled people are treated fairly. Adjustments could include providing access, equipment or other practical support.

DECLARATIONI consider myself to have a disability and I would like to apply under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme

Name...................................................... Date ......................

Signature...........................................................................................

Any false declaration of disability to obtain an interview under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme will subsequently invalidate any contract of employment
