Bristol SU strives to have an inclusive culture and an environment for all, underpinned by respect and compassion, where everyone feels welcomed, included, supported, valued and safe.

We recognise that some candidates may face additional barriers throughout their careers and when applying for new roles across the sector.  We are committed to taking positive action to expand the diversity of our staff team by offering two guaranteed interview schemes – a scheme for People of Colour and a scheme for Disabled People.

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.
