Recruitment journey

Accessibility at BHF

At British Heart Foundation, we believe in creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all our employees, including those with disabilities and long-term health conditions. Our commitment to accessibility is reflected in the range of resources and support systems available to ensure that everyone can thrive in their roles.

Inclusive recruitment process

Our recruitment process is designed to be inclusive and fair. We use anonymous CV software for all recruitment at BHF. Our careers site is inclusive, supported by accessibility software. This software supports people who are neurodiverse, visually impaired or speak English as a second language.

We offer adjustments to candidates at all stages of the recruitment process. These adjustments may include British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters, interview questions or themes in advance, extra time for any assessments and ensuring our interview locations are wheelchair accessible.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and if you have any specific adjustments or accessibility requirements, please get in touch with the Recruitment team.

Commitment to continuous improvement

We are committed to continuously improving our accessibility practices. BHF regularly reviews and updates its policies to reflect the latest standards and best practices in disability inclusion. We actively seek feedback from employees to identify areas for enhancement and ensure that our resources remain relevant and effective.

At BHF, we strive to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported. Our comprehensive accessibility resources and unwavering commitment to inclusion make us a great place to work for individuals with disabilities and long-term health conditions.
