On 19 October 2026 the Department for Work and Pensions confirmed us as a Disability Confident Committed employer. Our membership number is DCS051034, and it runs until 19 October 2029.
What is Disability Confident?
Disability Confident is the government’s scheme for employers, run by the Department for Work and Pensions. It supports employers to make the most of the talents disabled people can bring, and to remove the barriers facing disabled people and people with long-term health conditions.
It has three levels: Disability Confident Committed, Disability Confident Employer and Disability Confident Leader. It’s open to employers of all sizes, and Committed is where every employer starts. We’re a young company with a small team, so this is our first step.
What we’ve committed to
Every Disability Confident Committed employer makes the same five commitments. We will:
- Recruit inclusively: make our recruitment process inclusive and accessible.
- Share our vacancies: communicate and promote the jobs we offer.
- Offer interviews: offer an interview to disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job.
- Make adjustments: anticipate and provide reasonable adjustments as required.
- Keep people in work: support any employee who acquires a disability or long-term health condition, so they can stay in work.
We’ve also agreed to offer at least one activity that makes a difference for disabled people. We offer two: work experience and job shadowing.
If you’d like to work with us
Apply in whatever way suits you: by email, phone or video call. If you’re disabled and you meet the minimum criteria for a role, we’ll offer you an interview. Tell us the adjustments you need at any stage, such as extra time, a remote interview, the questions in advance or captions, and we’ll make them.
That doesn’t stop once you’ve joined. If your health changes, we’ll work with you on what helps you keep doing your job.

What’s next
Disability Confident Employer, the second level, is a self-assessment of how we recruit and support people. We’ll work towards it as the team grows.
