At HM Treasury, we believe that a diverse workforce has a positive impact on our work and helps us make better decisions for the people we serve. We want to do everything we can to ensure we reflect the society we serve. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident leader.

Workplace adjustments 

We are keen to ensure that staff with disabilities get the workplace adjustments they need to thrive, develop their skills and fulfil their potential. When you join, you’ll be asked to complete a Health Questionnaire, after which an Occupational Health Adviser will discuss your needs with you. Some examples of adjustments we have made for Treasury staff recently are:

• Additional equipment for staff with visual or hearing impairments
• British Sign Language (BSL) and Sign Supported English (SSE) interpretation
• Alternative working arrangements including homeworking
• Specialist software, such as speech-to-text programmes
• Modification to the physical environment such as adapted keyboards, mice and ergonomic chairs

Workplace adjustments will depend on the nature of the disability/disabilities, and this list is by no means exhaustive. We are open to discussing and considering a wide range of different and innovative ways to help remove barriers, creating an inclusive workplace for all.

Adjustments in the recruitment process

HM Treasury is committed to being an Equal Opportunities employer. We want everyone to have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their skills, experience and potential throughout the recruitment process. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you about any adjustments that can help you demonstrate your full potential whatever the type of assessment used.

If you require any adjustments to our recruitment process, please let us know on your application form or contact us via the details below. You’ll be able to discuss your specific needs at each stage of the process with a member of our recruitment team.

Disability Confident Leader

HM Treasury is a Disability Confident Leader. This means we’ve been recognised as an employer that is confident and leading the way in recruiting and retaining staff with disabilities. We’ll offer an interview to any applicants with a disability who have indicated that they wish to take part in the Disability Confident scheme, provided they meet the essential criteria for the post set out in the person specification.

If you apply via the Disability Confident scheme, you’ll need to meet the minimum requirements for the role to be invited to the Virtual Assessment Centre. As our selection process is designed to include several steps, we’re unable to assess this based on your application form alone. Whether you meet the minimum criteria will be determined by:

• Passing the online assessment (with adjustments where necessary).
• Passing the written questions assessment (with adjustments where necessary).
• Demonstrating the behaviours outlined in ‘what we’re looking for’ to a satisfactory level in your timed written questions.

Please see our application process and timeline page to help you throughout your application.
