Candidate information: candidates with disabilities

We look to your talents, not your disabilities.

Any disability you have will not limit your opportunity for recruitment or advancement.

At the recruitment stage, all candidates will be given full consideration for the jobs for which they have applied. And selection will be based solely on your ability to carry out the duties of the grade satisfactorily.

If your ability to carry out particular duties is likely to be affected by a disability, reasonable steps will be taken to identify and implement ways of overcoming such difficulties.

Guaranteed interview scheme

GCHQ guarantees to invite disabled candidates who meet the minimum criteria for appointment to the next stage of the selection process, whether this is written tests or an interview. Final selection for appointment will be on merit and qualification for the work.
