Equality, diversity and inclusion

The NHF has published its equality, diversity and inclusion strategy, which was co-created with staff. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace, and we value the contribution each individual makes to our work.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and are working to increase the diversity profile of our workforce. We are currently underrepresented by ethnic minorities, people with a disability or disabilities and LGBTQ+, and would particularly welcome applications from people in these groups.

Disability confident employer

We are a disability confident employer, and if you are a disabled person who meets the skills and experience we consider essential for the role, we will offer you an interview.

Please note: there may be occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job. In certain recruitment situations such as high volumes of applications, we may be required to limit the overall number of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.

In these circumstances, the NHF will select the disabled candidates who best meet the minimum criteria for the job rather than all of those who meet the minimum criteria, as we would do for non-disabled applicants. This is in line with the Disability Confident guidelines.

We are happy to consider reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process if you have a disability or have a condition that you feel may affect your performance during the recruitment process. Please email the People team with your request or to arrange a time to discuss in more detail.

Our role profile and job advert can also be requested in large print or in an accessible format.

This will help us to shortlist candidates for interview based solely on their knowledge, skills and experience.
