Reasonable adjustments

We are able to make reasonable adjustments within our application process to ensure that you have the best chance of success. We understand that there’s not a “one size fits all” approach to adjustments so our team will work with you individually to understand more about your requirements. We understand that it can be difficult to talk about a disability, however it may be beneficial for you to be open about your disability so that we can support you through the process and ensure you have the right level of adjustments.
