Newark and Sherwood District Council has been awarded the ‘Two Tick’ disability symbol user status, which recognises our commitment to increasing the number of disabled people we employ and to good practice in employing disabled people.
The award aims to ensure people with disabilities feel confident their employer will be positive about their abilities.
In achieving Two Tick status the council has made the following five commitments:
We will interview Care leavers (24 or under), Reservists/ex-forces/family of forces and Disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria specified in the person specification for a job vacancy.
