Care Positive Award
We are proud to be a Carer Positive employer and are committed to supporting colleagues with unpaid caring responsibilities, helping them balance work and caring commitments.

Disability Confident
As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we are committed to removing barriers to employment and providing an inclusive recruitment process. If you need reasonable adjustments at any stage, we will work with you to provide the support you need.
Equal Opportunities
We are committed to providing a fair, inclusive and accessible recruitment process. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and make recruitment decisions based on skills, experience and suitability for the role. As a college, we have also committed to implementing recruitment processes that proactively address imbalances in the workforce's ethnic profile at all levels.
SCQF Inclusive recruiter
As an SCQF Inclusive recruiter, we use SCQF levels instead of asking for specific qualifications where possible. This helps us to attract a wider range of candidates and recognise skills and experience gained through different qualifications and career pathways.
