As a Place Where You Can Be You, we’re proud to be recognised as a Disability Confident Leader under the UK Governments scheme. 

If you have a disability or long-term health condition, you can apply for a role with us through the Disability Confident Scheme (DCS). If you opt in and your application meets the essential criteria for the advertised role, we’ll invite you to the first stage of the recruitment process.

For roles where we receive a high volume of applications, it may not be possible to invite everyone who meets the essential criteria. In these cases, we will invite those who best meet the essential criteria to ensure a fair and proportionate process.

Candidates do not need to opt into the Disability Confident Scheme for us to consider reasonable adjustments or additional support you require during the recruitment process.

If you require any support with your application, please do let us know. Contact details are included on each job advert.

Who Are the Workplace Support (WPS) Team?

The Workplace Support (WPS) team is part of our People team and plays a vital role in supporting colleagues with disabilities, long-term health conditions, and other accessibility needs throughout their entire journey at Admiral. While WPS team members are equipped to explore and recommend reasonable adjustments across a wide range of areas, it is important to note that we do not diagnose conditions. Instead, our focus is on ensuring every colleague, regardless of disability, health condition, or individual circumstances, is provided with the right tools, support, and guidance to help them show up as their best self.

This is Admiral. This is Where You Can Be You.
