We strive to offer a safe, supportive and empowering environment for all our staff, and to be a positive employer for anyone affected by disability.
We promote equality in the workplace for all employees and applicants irrespective of their particular characteristics, including but not limited to: Race; colour; nationality; national or ethnic origins; gender; parental status; marital or civil partner status; sexual orientation; gender identity, expression or reassignment; HIV or AIDS status; employment status; flexibility of working arrangements; disability; age; religion; or belief.
It's the Bank’s policy to comply with all country, state and local laws that protect the rights of individuals from discrimination and govern employment practices across all the regions in which we operate.
We want all applicants to feel able to perform at their best throughout the hiring process and we’ll support you with any reasonable adjustments you need.
