We are committed to an inclusive recruitment process. Disabled applicants who meet the role's minimum criteria are guaranteed an interview and reasonable adjustments are supported throughout. Applicants can request to be considered under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) by indicating this on their application or contacting us at Careers@ciarb.org 

To be invited to interview for assessment under this scheme, you must meet the minimum criteria for the role in the application style requested, which is usually a CV. The minimum is 60% of the shortlisting score across all essential criteria.

Applying via the Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) does not guarantee a job; the best candidate at interview will be selected. Reasonable adjustments can also be made for interviews and work arrangements to support staff with disabilities or long-term health conditions.

We demonstrate our commitment to the Investors in People standard by fostering a supportive and engaging work environment. We focus on continuous professional development, ensuring that employees are well supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. We prioritise staff wellbeing, psychological safety, flexible working practices, and nurture a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion. By investing in training, feedback, and transparent communication, we align with the values required to maintain this accreditation, showcasing our dedication to staff growth and organisational excellence.

Our full-time employees are contracted to work 35 hours per week. We offer a range of flexible working patterns where possible to assist with a work/life balance and welcome applications from people wishing to work on a part-time or job share basis. We also operate a flextime scheme that allows you to alter your start and finish times and take hours back that you have accrued. Most of our roles are available for hybrid working.

As part of our dedication to fair and equitable treatment of employees we are committed to being a Real Living Wage employer. We ensure all staff receive a wage that reflects the true cost of living, beyond the statutory minimum. By adopting this standard, we support the wellbeing, motivation, and financial stability of our people, promoting an inclusive and positive work culture. This initiative aligns with our broader commitment to social responsibility and fostering a supportive, sustainable working environment.
