Offer of Interview Scheme
We a pleased to be members of the UK Government Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant schemes.
Each scheme is designed to remove barriers faced by disabled people and those who have left the armed forces when they apply for a job by ensuring they get an offer of interview if they meet the minimum criteria for the role. This provides an opportunity to demonstrate the skills, talent and abilities we are seeking at the interview stage.
By being part of these schemes, we are just making it easier for people with the right skills and attitude to join the Southeastern family, which we want to be as inclusive and diverse as possible.
Southeastern prides itself on being an organisation where everyone can thrive, and being Disability Confident shows our commitment to supporting disabled colleagues and job applicants and those who were in the armed forces to develop a fulfilling career with us.
