Guaranteed Interview Scheme
The Mining Remediation Authority is committed to enhancing employment opportunities for ethnic minority candidates and those with a disability. One way of doing this is through our Guaranteed Interview Scheme.
Under the scheme, if you meet the essential criteria as defined in the relevant job description, you will be automatically invited to interview. If you wish to be considered under this scheme, please indicate this when completing your application form.
The scheme is not a guaranteed job and selection procedures will ensure the best candidate is appointed, based on objective criteria in the job description.
Our guaranteed interview scheme for disability and ethnic minority candidates provides opportunities for talented individuals from underrepresented groups to succeed.
Here’s how it works:
- Eligibility Criteria: If you self-identify as being disabled or belonging to an ethnic minority group, then you’re eligible for the scheme.
- Guaranteed Interview: if you meet the essential criteria as defined in the relevant job description, you will be automatically invited to interview.
- Fair and Transparent Process: The interview process remains fair and transparent. You’ll be assessed based on your qualifications, skills, and experience relevant to the job role.
- Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: We regularly monitor the effectiveness of the scheme and make adjustments based on feedback and data analysis to ensure its continued success in promoting diversity and inclusion.
Reasonable Adjustments
We want you to be at your best. As a Disability Confident employer, we commit to having inclusive and accessible recruitment. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the hiring process.
- If you require any adjustments to be made so that you can make your application or attend an interview, please contact us at recruitment@miningremediation.gov.uk to discuss your needs.
- If you require a document in an alternative format such as audio, Braille or large print, then let us know via the email address or telephone number above.
- Tick the reasonable adjustments box when submitting your application. If you’re invited to interview, a member of the POD team will be in touch to discuss what additional support or adjustments we can provide. For instance, you may need wheelchair access at interview, or, if you’re deaf, a Language Service Professional.
- If you’ve been invited to an interview and need extra support, you may be able to apply for an Access to Work grant. For example, they could provide you with a communicator, advocate or BSL interpreter if you’re Deaf or have communication difficulties.
