Equality & Diversity

At Biscoes, we believe that diversity strengthens our team, our service, and our community. We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to thrive, regardless of background or identity.

We treat everyone equally and with the same attention, courtesy, and respect, regardless of disability, gender, marital status, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief, or sexual orientation; and operate a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination, bullying, and harassment. 

Guaranteed Interview Schemes

We offer guaranteed interviews to applicants who meet the essential criteria and identify as:

  • Disabled: In accordance with the Equality Act 2010, a disabled person is defined as an individual with a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term negative effect on their ability to do normal daily activities. This category includes individuals with physical disabilities, mental health conditions, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, and other health conditions.
  • Members of the Armed Forces Community: This category includes individuals who are currently serving in the armed forces or those who have previously served.
  • Care Leavers: This category includes young people who have left local authority care, up to the age of 25.

This ensures fair access to opportunities while maintaining a merit-based selection process.
