Equality of Opportunity Value Statement

Ansbury values all people, regardless of their gender, age, disabilities (including medical conditions), race, ethnic origin, language, religious beliefs, political beliefs, trade union membership or non-membership, marital status or sexual orientation.

We are therefore committed to promoting equality at every opportunity both as a provider of services and as an employer.

Our Equality of Opportunity service delivery policy, Equal Opportunities in Employment Policy and Race Equality Scheme are designed to implement our commitment. We will make sure services are equally accessible and relevant to all clients and that our recruitment and employment practices and procedures actively promote equality of opportunity.

We will use our influence and community leadership to promote understanding and harmony between people. We will work with other agencies and organisations in seeking to eliminate discrimination and harassment to any individual.

Equal Opportunities in Employment Policy

In addition to above value statement, we acknowledge that the efficiency of Ansbury will be improved as we seek to develop the skills and abilities of all employees. We recognise and accept our responsibility as an employer to promote equal opportunity.

Our policy and its provisions cover all staff working within Ansbury. The overriding principle on which our policy is based is that jobs should be filled by those best able to do them. Therefore, we will take every possible step to ensure that our staff and potential staff, are all treated fairly and that all employment decisions including those on recruitment, selection, promotion, training and career development are based on job related, objective criteria.

Whilst managers are key in making this policy effective, there are also duties placed upon employees. These will be discussed with you as part of your induction, if you are successful in your application for employment.
