Equality, diversity and inclusion

Rugby Borough Council has a long-standing commitment to placing equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of all we do.

A Disability Confident Employer, we have developed a robust recruitment, selection and interview process with zero bias to ensure equal opportunities for all.

We work to promote equality, diversity and inclusion in our communities, through the delivery of our services and through our role as an employer.

Disability Confident Employer

As a Disability Confident Employer, we operate a guaranteed interview scheme, meaning applicants with a disability who meet all the essential criteria for a role secure an interview - guaranteed.

Candidates can request adjustments to the interview process and we can facilitate access requirements. Just email us at recruitment@rugby.gov.uk when you receive your invitation to interview.

Please note - we never share information about the nature of any disability with the hiring manager.
