Rockpools carry Gold Card for Disability Confidence
Rockpools is the latest organisation to join the Employers' Forum on Disability as a Gold Card member.
The executive recruitment consultancy joins Merck & co, National Probation Service, Netcare Healthcare UK and PricewaterhouseCoopers who have become core Forum funders since July 2005.
The Forum now has 40 Gold Card members who have committed themselves to employing and serving disabled people.
Nev Wilkinson, Rockpools' Managing Partner, said:
“Rockpools staff value diversity and firmly believe that talent comes in all shapes, sizes and backgrounds – and that one size doesnít fit all.
“We are very proud to support the Employers' Forum for Disability as a Gold Card member and are committed to setting the pace for inclusiveness within the recruitment industry.”
Chief executive of Employers' Forum on Disability, Susan Scott-Parker said:
“I'm thrilled that Rockpools have joined as Gold, and are committed to becoming disability confident.
“I hope to see other recruitment consultancies follow their lead, making it easier for our members, and other employers, to recruit from the widest possible pool of talent.”
