Equality and diversity
Tamworth Borough Council is an equal opportunity employer and wholeheartedly supports the principles of equality and diversity in employment.
You will be considered for the job you have applied for solely on the basis of your ability to do the job. Once in employment with the Tamworth Borough Council you will be given the support needed to attain your full potential.
Our employment processes and conditions seek to be free from discrimination and every effort will be made to remove any unnecessary and unjustifiable barriers to employment, training and promotion.
It is in the best interest of the Tamworth Borough Council to value and respect the diversity of every individual and to give equal opportunity to progress within the organisation.
The Tamworth Borough Council aims to promote equality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, skills and potential. We welcome applications from applications from all sectors of the community.
Disabled People
As a ‘Two Tick’ employer, we recognise the rights of disabled people to be considered fully and fairly in all aspects of employment with the Tamworth Borough Council. We positively encourage applications from disabled people who have the necessary skills and experience for the post. For disabled people who are able to show that they meet the essential requirements for the job, we are pleased to guarantee an interview.
We do all we can to make sure that disabled staff can develop and use their full abilities, and we also make every effort when staff become disabled, to help them remain within employment.
Recruitment of Ex-Offenders
If you have a criminal record, you will not automatically be barred from working for us. We will base our decision only on the type of the position and the circumstances and background of the offences. Criminal records will be taken into account only where the conviction is relevant. Unless the work includes access to children and vulnerable adults, you will not be asked to disclose convictions that are “spent” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
