It is important to note that in certain recruitment situations such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.

We are a mission-driven organisation committed to creating safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces for women in need.
The Nelson Trust provides holistic support for women involved with the Criminal Justice System (CJS) with the aim of diverting women from the criminal justice system and into support at the earliest opportunity. Our services span the CJS including early intervention, arrest diversion, probation orders and through the gate and resettlement support for women released from HMP Eastwood Park.
Our Women's Centres offer gender-responsive, trauma-informed practical and emotional support and interventions to address needs including housing, substance misuse, health, finance, previous trauma, children & families, and education, training and employment with the aim of reducing social harms and re-offending whilst empowering women to access opportunities to reach their full potential. The Centres are a unique resource - a safe, women-only space where a wide range of problems related to offending, safety and well-being can be addressed in a warm and supportive environment with the aim of diverting women from the criminal justice system and into support at the earliest opportunity. Our services span the CJS including early intervention, arrest diversion, probation orders and through the gate and resettlement support for women released from HMP Eastwood Park.
Due to the nature of the work carried out in our Women's Centres, this role is restricted to female applicants only in accordance with the provisions of the occupational requirement (Equality Act 2010, pursuant to Schedule 9, Part 1).
