Equal opportunities

Equal opportunities

Walsall Council is committed to the principle of equal opportunities for everyone. That means taking action to stop discrimination and making sure that job applicants are only considered on their ability to do the job.

We recognise that fair recruitment and selection practices are crucial in delivering equality of opportunity. Read about our Equality and Diversity Protocol below to learn more.

Armed Forces 

We are proud to support the Armed Forces Covenant. Walsall Council will guarantee an interview for any candidate who has formerly served in the Armed Forces and who meets the essential criteria for the job.

Disability Confident

Walsall Council is part of the Disability Confident scheme. This helps us to successfully employ and retain people with disabilities and health conditions. In recognition of this, we have been certified as a Level 2: Disability Confident Employer. Disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria for a vacancy will be guaranteed an interview. You can find out more information about the Disability Confident Scheme on the Government website.
