Recruit to build diverse teams
Shaw Trust provides a fully funded recruitment service offering a large pool of candidates from all walks of life. Employers can be matched with immediately available candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. We support with screening, preparation and provide advice on how to widen access and shorten recruitment processes, to maximise social value for the business and local community.
Disability Confident
Shaw Trust is accredited as a Disability Confident Leader and champions businesses to progress to become Disability Confident Employers by actively encouraging and supporting our supply chain and networks. Employers that are Disability Confident play a leading role in changing attitudes for the better. We’ll help you think differently about disability and improve how you attract, recruit and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce. Shaw Trust offers advice, guidance, resources or practical support from level 1 up and until you achieve level 3.

Shaw Trust has a team of dedicated, experienced health and wellbeing trainers who deliver consistently high quality, evidence-based training and counselling to enable teams to gain knowledge, skills and abilities to confidently interact and manage people with disabilities and understand best practice support for potential candidates with disabilities during recruitment and on-boarding. We also offer Mental Health & Youth First Aid accredited training, manager and staff resilience training.
