We are proud to share that localmedic has officially become a disability confident committed employer. This is a significant step in our commitment to building an inclusive workplace that supports everyone to succeed.

The disability confident scheme, led by the UK Government, helps employers recruit and retain people with disabilities and health conditions. By joining this scheme, we are taking action to ensure our recruitment and workplace practices are accessible and inclusive.

As a disability confident committed employer, we have pledged to:

• Offer interviews to disabled candidates who meet the essential criteria for a role.
• Make reasonable adjustments to support employees with disabilities.
• Make sure our recruitment process is fair and accessible.
• Promote job opportunities to a diverse audience.
• Encourage and support staff to be disability confident.

Our future goal

While this is an important milestone, it is just the beginning of our journey. We aim to achieve disability confident employer status (level 2) within the next three years. This will involve reviewing our practices, providing further support for employees, and taking extra steps to champion inclusion.

Why this matters

At localmedic, we believe that diversity strengthens our business and helps us deliver better services. By becoming disability confident committed, we are taking real steps to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can succeed.

What’s next

We will continue working hard to meet and exceed the commitments of the disability confident scheme. This is an exciting journey, and we look forward to the positive changes it will bring for our team and the people we work with.
