Gloucestershire Inclusive Employer
The Royal Agricultural University has become one of the employers in Gloucestershire to receive an Inclusivity Works ‘Inclusive Employers’ Award.
The awards scheme hosted by Inclusivity Works, launched by the GEM Project, aim to inspire more employers to work in partnership with the campaign and through the support on offer, take advantage of fantastic, talented and motivated potential employees who may not have previously been considered.
At the RAU, we celebrate inclusion and take action to create an inclusive culture where diverse groups of people feel valued, confident and able to be themselves, and have seen incredible benefits as individuals contribute their very best to the organisation.
As a University we have chosen five values to underpin our learning community. These are the values which we will all work by and for which we want the RAU to be known. We are:
Collaborative
We believe in the power of working together. We are stronger as a community of practice – inspiring each other, identifying shared goals, and providing reciprocal support leads to greater success.
Open-Minded
We are receptive to new ideas and we value the diversity of experiences and skills. We are committed to listening to everyone across the RAU community.
Resourceful
We adopt creative approaches to achieve our goals while setting higher standards, promoting professionalism and sustainability.
Responsible
Individually and collectively we take accountability for our actions working with integrity to achieve the highest ethical standards.
Inclusive
We acknowledge the fundamental value and dignity of all individuals and are committed to maintaining an environment that seeks to eliminate all forms of discrimination and respects diverse traditions, heritages, and experiences.
International applicants
Permanent or fixed-term positions
To take up an appointment at the Royal Agricultural University, applicants who are nationals of countries outside the UK and Republic of Ireland, and who do not have existing permission to work in the UK, need to get permission from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). Should you be successful in the selection process, the University will apply for a certificate of sponsorship that enables you to seek permission from the UKVI to take up our offer of employment. If you are from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein and have family already resident in the UK you may be eligible to apply under the EU settlement scheme.
Your success in applying for a certificate of sponsorship will rely on meeting certain criteria – for the most up to date list of these, as well as further information on working in the UK, please visit the UKVI website.
Please be aware that we have a legal responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK. Should you be successful in your application we will need to see documentation confirming your entitlement before you take up your appointment.
UK Visa support for Ukrainian nationals
The RAU welcomes applications from Ukrainian nationals who have relocated to the UK under the Ukraine Family Scheme or Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme. For more information and guidance on these schemes please click here.
