Our accessibility statement follows.
The HSC Jobs site is made up of two separate applications, one part where you search for jobs and the other where you apply for jobs.
This statement relates to all web pages with the web address beginning Jobs.hscni.net.
This statement does not cover web pages with the web address jobs-app.hscni.net. (This is the address of the recruitment system where you apply for jobs) See application portal accessibility information.
This website is administered by HSC Business Services organisation on behalf of the Health & Social Care employers. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
