Equal Opportunities

Roads Service fully embraces the Departmental commitment of providing equality of opportunity for all our people.

It is our policy that no employee should receive less favourable treatment in any aspect of employment in terms of their religious belief, gender, disability, race, political opinion, marital status, sexual orientation, or whether or not they have dependants.

We aim to provide a neutral working environment free from bullying or harassment, encouraging our people to welcome diversity, to respect a person's individuality and to value creativity in the workplace.

Roads Service is committed to creating a Work-Life Balance for all its staff and supports flexible working patterns and leave provisions which are open to all staff - married, single, male, female, parents, carers, those without dependants and regardless of grade or age.

All managers within Roads Service will be trained in Good Management Practice to ensure that everyone is aware of Equal Opportunity Policy, understands what it means and puts it into practice.

For recruitment and promotion purposes all eligible persons shall have equal opportunity for employment and advancement on the basis of their ability, qualifications and aptitude for the work - in other words on the basis of merit.
