Reasonable Adjustment
If you have a disability, you may need reasonable adjustments to be made to enable you to take part in our selection processes.
If you need assistance to complete the application form or a copy in large or different format, or adjustments to our literacy and numeracy assessments if you have dyslexia, please contact the recruiting manager (listed in the NHS Jobs advertisement), or the HR Support Services team on telephone number (01246) 513177, or e mail CRHFT.HumanResources@nhs.net.
Please note that reasonable adjustments for successful applicants with a disability will be fully considered on appointment.
Halo Code
We signed up to the Halo Code in January 2022 – the UK’s first Black hair code – to protect the rights of staff who come to work with natural hair and protective hairstyles associated with their racial, ethnic, and cultural identities.
The Halo Code was developed by the Halo Collective and brings together organisations and schools who have made a commitment to work towards creating a future without hair discrimination.
