Family Fund is Disability Confident Employer and has made a commitment to work towards becoming a Disability Leader.
We encourage and welcome applications from disabled candidates. We will invite to interview all disabled applicants who meet the essential requirements of the role. If you are disabled and need help with the application process, please let us know. We also encourage anyone coming to meet us for an interview to let us know if reasonable adjustments would help them perform at their best. As part of our work on diversity and inclusion, and to provide candidates with the best opportunity to demonstrate the skills and behaviours required for any role, we share the interview questions in advance.
We provide a range of workplace adjustments to support our staff, depending on their needs, including Access to Work support, flexible working, and we will provide special equipment where it is needed.
Family Fund Group has signed the Armed Forces Covenant. It is a promise from the nation to those who serve or who have served, and their families. It says we will do all we can to ensure that they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to day lives.
For us at Family Fund, it means we pledge to provide employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community. This includes service leavers and veterans, and currently serving reserve members in the UK Armed Forces. It also includes family members of someone serving (or formerly serving) and bereaved family members of someone who died on service, in the UK Armed Forces.
Therefore, we will invite to interview all members of the Armed Forces Community who apply to us and meet the essential requirements of the role.
As part of our commitment, we received the Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Award.
We are proud to be one of over 12,000 employers in the UK who have committed to being a living wage employer. Indeed, we strongly believe staff deserve a wage which meets everyday needs.
The current UK Living Wage is £10.90 per hour, which is higher than the national living wage set by Government, and independently calculated based on what people need to get by. You can find more information on the Living Wage Foundation website.
