  • Age
  • Disability
  • Gender identity, presentation and/or reassignment
  • Marriage or civil partnership status

  • Religious or philosophical beliefs

Equalities Monitoring Form

akt is committed to improving the diversity of its workforce so that it better reflects the diverse community it serves. To help us achieve this, we would appreciate it if you could provide us with some information which will be captured and stored anonymously and used only for the purpose of equalities monitoring (and applying our guaranteed interview scheme detailed below) during the recruitment process. All offers of employment will be made strictly on merit and related to the requirements of the job. This form will be separated from the application form on receipt and those involved in the selection process will not have access to it.

We understand that it’s impossible to reduce the rich complexity of our backgrounds and identities into a few boxes, but please choose the options you identify with most closely. If you're uncomfortable sharing, please choose "Prefer not to say".

Guaranteed Interview Scheme

We  recognise that applicants from Black, Brown and People of Colour backgrounds may experience additional barriers when applying for a new role and we are taking positive action to address under representation within our organisation.

We therefore operate a guaranteed interview scheme for applicants who are from Black, Brown and People of colour backgrounds who wish to be considered in line with this scheme and who meet the minimum criteria for the role.


Guaranteed Interview Scheme

akt recognises that organisations have a positive duty to make reasonable adjustments to compensate for disadvantages relating to disability and therefore commits to a guaranteed interview scheme for applicants with disabilities who wish to be considered in line with this scheme and who meet the minimum criteria for the role.

In situations where a large volume of applicants who meet the scheme criteria are received and it is not practicable to interview them all, an agreed number of candidates will be selected for the shortlist in order of their shortlisting scores.
