Guaranteed Interviews & Inclusion

We believe in fair and inclusive recruitment and in creating a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We are committed to removing barriers, supporting wellbeing and promoting equal opportunity across everything we do.

Armed Forces - guaranteed interviews.

We value the dedication, skills and experience that service leavers, veterans, reservists and military family members bring to the workplace.

In line with the principles of the Armed Forces Guaranteed Interview Scheme and the Armed Forces Covenant, we will offer an interview to applicants from the Armed Forces community who:

  • Make it known they would like to be considered under the Armed Forces Guaranteed Interview scheme by emailing their CV to OurFutureWorkforce@innovatehs.co.uk, and

  • Meet the essential criteria for the role

We are also happy to support with reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process to ensure everyone has the opportunity to perform at their best.

In some circumstances, such as periods of high application volume or peak operational times, it may not be possible to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria. In this instance the organisation will prioritise interviewing those disabled candidates who most closely align with the job requirements, consistent with our approach taken for non-disabled applicants.

Disability Confident - guaranteed interviews.

We are also committed to the principles of the Disability Confident scheme which helps employers make the most of the talents disabled people bring to work.

As part of this commitment, we will guarantee an interview to applicants who:

  • Make it known they would like to be considered under the Disability Confident scheme by emailing their CV to OurFutureWorkforce@innovatehs.co.uk, and

  • Meet the essential criteria for the role

Mindful Employer.

We are proud to be a recognised Mindful Employer, demonstrating our commitment to supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

As a Mindful Employer, we aim to create a supportive and inclusive working environment by being open about mental health, reducing stigma, and ensuring fair and transparent recruitment practices. We are committed to considering candidates on their skills and experience, and to providing appropriate support and adjustments where needed, during the recruitment process and throughout employment.

Why this matters.

These commitments reflect our belief that talent, potential and contribution should be what matters most. By embedding inclusive principles across our recruitment and workplace practices, we aim to create fairer opportunities and a more supportive, inclusive workforce.
