Equal Opportunities

It is the College’s policy to select on merit for all posts whether permanent or temporary, regardless of sex, marital status, ethnic origin, colour, race, disability, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or age. Entry into the College is solely on the basis of individual merit.

Worcester College of Technology seeks to secure genuine equality of opportunity in all aspects of its activities as an employer. Our belief is that it is in our best interests and those of all who work here, to ensure that our human resources, talents and skills available throughout the community are considered when employment opportunities arise. To this end, within the framework of the law, the College is committed, wherever practicable, to achieving and maintaining a workforce which broadly reflects the local community in which it operates.

Recruitment, selection and appointment decisions will be based on objective selection criteria, i.e. job descriptions and specifications of the skills, experience, qualifications and personal characteristics required to perform the work to the necessary standard.

Employment policies, practices, and procedures will be:

• Fair and equitable
• Consistently applied so that no individual is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
