Better is now registered as a Disability Confident Committed employer, a UK accreditation that recognises those organisations taking active steps to attract, recruit, retain, and develop disabled people in the workplace.
Becoming Disability Confident Committed is a public commitment to making Better’s recruitment, workplace, and culture more accessible, and to treating inclusion as an ongoing journey.
As a Disability Confident Committed employer, Better has made commitments to ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible, to communicate and promote our vacancies more widely, including to disabled candidates, and to offer an interview to disabled applicants who meet the criteria for the role. In addition, we are also committed to anticipating and providing reasonable adjustments whenever needed, and to supporting any colleague who acquires a disability or a long-term health condition, so they can stay in work and continue thriving at Better.
Better has committed to offering activities that will make a tangible difference for disabled people, giving people real opportunities to build a career in health tech.
Over the coming months, Better will review our hiring processes to remove unnecessary barriers and equip our recruiters and managers with practical guidance on reasonable adjustments. “Becoming Disability Confident Committed is a meaningful step for Better. It gives us a clear framework to keep improving how we recruit, support, and develop disabled colleagues, and it holds us accountable to that as we grow. I’m looking forward to working with teams across the business to build on this,” said Helen McClorry, Head of Social Values, Better UK & Ireland.
Disability Confident is designed as a continuous learning journey, a mindset that fits well with how Better already works and develops.
