A Union for All
We want to attract the best candidates possible and we are committed to ensuring that everyone is treated fairly throughout the recruitment process.
We recognise that some candidates may face additional barriers throughout their careers and when applying for new roles across the Student Union sector. Where there is clear evidence of underrepresentation in our staff team we use Guaranteed Interview schemes to encourage applications.
However, all decisions and appointments are made based on the skills, experience and suitability of candidates for the position, regardless of any protected characteristic. Applicants who do not qualify for either guaranteed interview scheme remain fully eligible to be shortlisted, interviewed and appointed. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, and successful candidates are selected on merit.
Guaranteed Interview Scheme for People of Colour
If you meet the minimum criteria for a role (at least 80% of the 'essential' criteria in the person specification) and are a person of colour, and wish to be considered under the guaranteed interview scheme, you must let us know by opting into the scheme when you apply online.
The selection decision at interview will be based on the most suitable candidate, regardless of any protected characteristic.
Guaranteed Interview Scheme for Disabled People
Bristol SU is proud to be accredited as a Level 1 Disability Confident Employer making a commitment to the recruitment, development and retention of disabled staff. As part of this we introduced a second Guaranteed Interview Scheme to our recruitment process, for disabled people.
If you meet the minimum criteria for a role (at least 80% of the 'essential' criteria in the person specification) and are a disabled person, and wish to be considered under the guaranteed interview scheme, you must let us know by opting into the scheme when you apply online.
The selection decision at interview will be based on the most suitable candidate, regardless of any protected characteristic.
