Applying through the Disability Confident Scheme
We are very proud to be a Disability Confident leader and are committed to attracting, recruiting and supporting disabled people.
If you consider yourself to be disabled, you can choose to apply through the Disability Confident Scheme (DCS). By selecting this option, you are letting us know that you would like to be considered under the scheme as part of the recruitment process.
If the University assesses that you meet the minimum essential criteria for the role, you will normally be given an opportunity to demonstrate your skills, knowledge and abilities during the selection process. However, there may be circumstances, such as when there is a particularly high volume of applications, where it is not practicable to progress all applicants who meet the minimum criteria. In these situations, we may shortlist those applicants who best meet the criteria, applying a fair and proportionate approach to all applicants.
To be considered under the scheme, simply select the Disability Confident option in the Equality of Opportunity section of your application. You can also tell us about any adjustments you may need to take part in the recruitment and selection process.
If you choose not to apply through the scheme, your application will still be considered fairly and on its merits alongside all other applications.

Disclosing your disability
There is no legal obligation for you to disclose that you have a disability (unless there are very specific health and safety risks). However, you may wish to inform your Recruitment Coordinator of your disability if you are shortlisted for interview, so we can support you and ensure any reasonable adjustments are put in place.
Browser Extensions
Browser extensions are tools that can be helpful to make our job application process more accessible. They can improve readability, comprehension and overall user experience. The effectiveness of extensions can vary depending on your individual needs and preferences so it's best to try them out to see which ones work best for you.
If you need any specific adjustments to complete your job application please contact your Recruitment Coordinator or email us at jobs@bath.ac.uk
