Disability Confident
Being a Disability Confident employer means The National Archives is benefitting from diverse skills and making a difference to the disability employment gap.
As part of the Disability Confident Scheme, The National Archive are committed to offering an interview to a fair and proportionate number of disabled applicants that meet the minimum selection criteria for the job.
We hope this commitment will encourage people with disabilities to apply for jobs and provide an opportunity to demonstrate their skills, talent and abilities at the interview stage.
