Diversity and Inclusion

We are proud to have been recognised as a Disability Confident Leader by the Civil Service Disability Confident Scheme (DCS). This means that we:
– challenge attitudes towards disability; 
– increase understanding of disability; 
– remove barriers to disabled people and those with long-term health conditions; and 
– ensure that disabled people can fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations. 

We encourage individuals with a disability or health condition (either physical or mental) to share this information with us as soon as possible so that we can put the right support in place for you at any point during the recruitment process.

DCS applicants who meet the minimum criteria in the job specification at the shortlisting stage are guaranteed an invitation to interview.

Workplace Adjustments Passports help HM Land Registry to support our colleagues who require reasonable adjustments made to their work area to manage a disability either in the short term or long term. The Passport ensures that if an employee moves to a new role, a new location, or a new manager, the support that they have in place moves with them.

Workplace Adjustments Passports are reviewed regularly to ensure that they are up-to-date and give the support that the employee needs to continue performing at their best while managing a health condition.
The Passport is just one of the ways we make our workplace as inclusive as possible, for everyone.

Many veterans already work in the Civil Service, contributing a huge amount to the organisation. The Great Place to Work for Veterans initiative aims to encourage more veterans to take this step. Former members of the armed forces who meet the minimum criteria for a role will progress automatically to the next stage of selection.

In most cases this will be an interview, but depending on the vacancy it may be another method of selection such as an online test or an assessment centre.

To be eligible for this scheme in the Civil Service, you must:
– have served for at least one year in His Majesty’s Armed Forces (as a Regular or Reserve); this includes time spent training
– be in transition from, or ceased to be a member of, HM Armed Forces
– not already be a civil servant, or be employed by a Civil Service Commission accredited public body

There is no maximum time limit from when you left HM Armed Forces to be eligible for this initiative.

When you apply for a role through Civil Service Jobs, you will be prompted to enter whether you are eligible for the Great Place to Work Initiative and whether you would like to apply for the role through this route.

At HM Land Registry we are committed to fairness and equality for all, so you feel valued for who you are and what you do. Our shared values help us work together, to benefit the communities we serve. Our employee diversity networks support our culture of inclusion and contribute to our strategic ambitions. Diversity fuels our innovation.

We are keen to make our workforce as diverse as possible, and we hope to attract applications from underrepresented groups, including black, Asian and minority ethnic people; people with disabilities; LGBT+ people; people with gender diverse identities; and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
