Equal opportunities recruitment

Kensington and Chelsea Mind value equality, diversity and inclusion. We create equal opportunities and develop good working relationships between different people. We make every effort to eliminate discrimination.  Discrimination means treating someone unfairly because of who they are. The Equality (Act 2010) protects individuals from discrimination at work. 

If you’re applying to work with us we will apply fair and non discriminatory recruitment processes to ensure individuals are not discriminated against, in respect of age the following protected characteristics, protected under the Equalities Act (2010):

  • Age
  • Gender reassignment
  • Being married or in a civil partnership
  • Being pregnant or on maternity leave
  • Having a disability
  • Race
  • Religion or belief
  • Sex
  • Sexual orientation

Asking for reasonable workplace adjustments

If you need us to make certain changes (known as ‘reasonable adjustments’) to make sure you’re not disadvantaged during the recruitment process, please let us know.

Our equality objectives:

  • To improve representation rates for ethnic minorities and staff with disabilities
  • To improve the fairness and inclusions scores for underrepresented groups
  • To publish an annual equality information report
