SDDirect is a UK based employer with all positions based in the UK, unless otherwise stated in the advert.
We were created out of a passion for equality and diversity, and encourage you to apply regardless of your age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, or sexual orientation. All applicants are treated fairly, and recruitment decisions are based on the skills, experience and knowledge required for the role.
Information on how to apply is detailed in our adverts. Our recruitment process includes an initial call from our HR team, followed by a written assessment and an interview with our hiring panel. If your first interview is successful, you will be invited to attend a second interview before a final decision is made.
All our positions require the successful candidate to undergo a basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar individuals from working with SDDirect, this will depend on the circumstances of the offence and the nature of the role. We will take every possible step to ensure people are treated fairly.
As part of our commitment to safe recruitment practices, SDDirect participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme (MDS). In line with this scheme, we will request information from successful candidates’ previous employers (covering the previous 5 years) about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the candidate left employment. We will also request information about other types of workplace misconduct including theft, bribery, corruption, harassment, bullying, discrimination or any other serious misconduct that would result in instant dismissal.
By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

Disability Confident Scheme
