We are committed to equal employment opportunity and positively encourage applications from all suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of race, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, disability, age, sexual orientation, transgender status, religion or belief. Flexible working requests are considered from day one.

Right to Work in the UK

Any employment offer made is contingent on you obtaining and maintaining the right to work and reside legally in the UK. We welcome applications from candidates who have their own right to work within the UK, where you can maintain and demonstrate your right to work throughout the duration of your employment.

Bidwells are unable to sponsor candidates for this role as the Home Office's eligibility criteria will not be satisfied.

Use of AI

Here at Bidwells, we don’t use AI to screen your application. A member of our Talent team will review it personally, because we believe recruitment is about people, not algorithms.

As for your application, we know AI can be a great tool, but please don’t let it do all the talking. Use AI to help you prepare if you would like, but make sure your application is authentic and reflects you. We want to hear your voice, your experience and what makes you, you.

Recruitment agencies:

Bidwells only pay agency fees where we have a signed agreement in place and that agency has been contacted and directed by a member of our Talent Acquisition Team to work on a specific vacancy. We do not pay agency fees when speculative and unsolicited CVs are submitted to Bidwells or any of our employees other than via our Applicant Tracking System and through our recruitment process. If this is not adhered to, agency fees will not be paid. Submission of any unsolicited CVs or proposals to Bidwells will be deemed evidence of full and unlimited acceptance of this approach.
