City of Bristol College is committed to becoming a Trauma Informed setting. We recognise that some of our students have experienced adversity and trauma and that for some, these experiences may be an ongoing part of everyday life. With this awareness, a trauma informed approach is embedded in how we work in all departments, and this is enhanced by regular staff training and support.
We welcome applications from people with disabilities and we will seek to make reasonable adjustments to our interview process and to your workplace so that disabled applicants and colleagues aren’t put at a disadvantage. We also have links to the access to work scheme, which can be especially helpful in supporting people with disabilities to remove any barriers during employment with us.
