HIE  recruitment and employment policies

As an equal opportunities employer we are committed to treating all existing and prospective employees in a non-discriminatory way and we have implemented a number of policies and procedures to help us do this.

Our commitment to equal opportunities includes:

• the promotion of equal opportunities in employment
  
• the development, implementation and review of employment policies which aim to ensure that people receive fair and consistent treatment
  
• a continuing programme of action to make the policy and its implementation fully effective - which includes training and guidance for all managers
  
• the introduction of an in-house listening service and offer of outside counselling where appropriate
  
• the annual review of our equal opportunities policy
  

HIE's aim is to create and maintain a working environment which will enable all our people to maximise their potential and so contribute to our overall success. It is our belief that each individual will benefit from an environment which encourages trust and respect for each other.

Note: We are currently revising our application process to incorporate online recruitment. This includes a revised application form in which age-related information is not used.

HIE is mindful of its obligations under the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 and age-related information gathered meantime on the existing application form will not be used for recruitment and selection purposes
