Channel 4’s purpose is to create change through entertainment by representing unheard voices, challenging with purpose, and delivering content that reflects the diversity of different communities across the UK.
This remit can only be delivered with a workforce rich in diversity of thought, background, and lived experience. As an employer, Channel 4 encourages applications from candidates from all backgrounds and does not discriminate based on disability, age, gender reassignment, gender expression, criminal history, length of time spent unemployed, marriage or civil partnership status, national origin, pregnancy and maternity status, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
Disability Confident Scheme:
Channel 4 is a member of the Business Disability Forum (BDF) and has maintained the highest level of the Department of Work and Pension's Disability Confident scheme—Level 3: Leader. Under this scheme, Channel 4 aims to offer an interview to all candidates who have a neurodiverse condition, impairment, or long-term condition and who meet the essential criteria for an advertised job. Applicants who wish to be considered under the Disability Confident Scheme should select "yes" when completing the application questions. Further information can be found on the Disability Confident Campaign website.
For roles and schemes that receive a high volume of applications, it may not always be possible to provide an interview to all applicants who meet the essential criteria. In such cases, only applications that best meet the skills required for the role can be selected.
Care Leaver Friendly Employer:
Channel 4 is a Care Leaver Friendly Employer. By signing the Care Leaver Friendly Employer Charter and adopting its principles, Channel 4 supports an immensely talented yet often under-served and under-represented community of young people and adults. The organisation commits to offering an interview (and providing constructive feedback) to applicants who identify as care experienced and meet the essential criteria for the role as outlined in the job description. Applicants should indicate if they wish to apply under the Care Leaver Scheme by selecting the appropriate option on the application form.
Workplace Adjustments:
Channel 4 is committed to providing disabled applicants with a level playing field when applying for a job and ensuring support while employed, enabling them to perform to the best of their ability and develop their careers. Candidates who have a neurodiverse condition, impairment, or long-term condition and require any adjustments, additional support, or alternative arrangements during the recruitment process can discuss this confidentially by contacting recruitment@channel4.co.uk.
