Reasonable adjustments
We want to make sure you're given the best possible chance to shine in your interview, so you may need us to do things in a slightly different way. This could be requesting a ground floor room or bringing along a sign interpreter, to name just a few.
Fill in the below box if there's anything we need to know so we can adjust the process to support you.
AO is for everyone
We should all feel that we belong. That's why we are creating a welcoming and inclusive place to work.
We're proud to be different. From how we look to the way we talk to our customers, we skip to the beat of our very own drum. We know that being different together is our superpower, and we celebrate it because it makes us stronger, more creative, and better at what we do.
We believe the people we employ should reflect the diversity of our customer base; that way, we can communicate in a way that recognises all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, abilities, and sexual orientations.
And that's why we're asking these questions. Making sure our recruitment process is inclusive is a key part of what we're doing at AO to encourage diversity as an employer.
How will we use the data?
After we've collated the data, we'll look at the patterns to assess if we are inclusive at each stage. If it turns out that we aren't, then the data may help us identify where we can improve.
The data will never have any bearing on whether an application is successful or not and will not be available to hiring managers at any stage.
How do you describe your gender identity?
How do you describe your ethnic background?
How do you like to describe your sexual identity or sexual orientation?
Do you identify as a person with a disability or are you a person with accessibility needs?
How would you describe your neurodiversity?
