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 communities across the UK.
This remit can only be achieved with a workforce rich in diversity of thought, background, and lived experience. As an employer, Channel 4 encourages applications from candidates of 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 achieved the highest level of the Department of Work and Pensions' Disability Confident scheme—Level 3: Leader. Under this scheme, Channel 4 aims to offer an interview to all candidates with a neurodiverse condition, impairment, or long-term condition who meet the essential criteria for an advertised role.
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 interview all applicants who meet the essential criteria. In such cases, only those applications that best match the skills required for the role will 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 is committed 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 that employees receive the support they need to perform to the best of their ability and develop their careers.
Candidates with a neurodiverse condition, impairment, or long-term condition who require adjustments, additional support, or alternative arrangements during the recruitment process can discuss this confidentially by contacting recruitment@channel4.co.uk.
