Better Choices, as an employer, recognises and is committed to Equal Opportunities in our employment practices. Our policy is to ensure that no potential or existing employee receives less favourable treatment than another on the grounds of sex, race, disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation or any other conditions, which are not relevant to the performance of the job. Individuals are selected, trained, promoted and treated on the basis of their abilities and merits and according to the requirements of the job. Our staff are given equal opportunity to show their ability and to progress within the organisation.
Better Choices advertises staff vacancies in a variety of relevant media, including this website, local and national press and professional bulletins such as Portico.
