Our ambition is to be a truly open, inclusive and welcoming place. We want our people to feel they can be their true selves at work. We have therefore put together a wide range of questions to build a picture of our candidate base. We appreciate it may be a new experience to be asked to provide this type information. You will see that we have provided some definitions to clarify the options given for some questions.
This questionnaire is anonymous. Your answers are not linked to your application and will not affect the selection process in any way. Please be reassured that all personal data you supply on this form will be managed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations 2018. Only HR will have access to information you provide and will be used solely to measure and improve diversity in our recruitment. HR will report on overall data only and never report on any level that would compromise individual confidentiality.
So what’s in it for you? …you may still wonder. Well, by answering these questions you will help the Museum build an accurate picture of job applicants and commit to concrete actions. It is a huge deal and your help is appreciated. If you still feel uncomfortable answering a specific question, you can choose the option ‘prefer not to say’. This is better than not answering at all as it will still log a response.
If you struggle to answer a question in a way that accurately matches your situation, just choose what is closest. It can be difficult to provide options that cater for every single scenario but that’s normal with questionnaires.
