- age
- race
- colour
- ethnic or national origin
- nationality (subject to nationality rules)
- sex / gender
- transgender
- sexual orientation
- marriage and civil partnership
- disability
- religion or religious affiliation / belief
- part-time working
- pregnancy and maternity
- political opinion
- people with or without dependants (Northern Ireland only)
- trade union membership and duties
There may be some exceptions for positive action which is allowed by relevant legislation.
Equal opportunities and equal treatment are the cornerstones of our recruitment and employment policy.
