Dams work with HMP Academies Programme at HMP (G4S)
Altcourse Prison, Liverpool to support offenders to enable them
to improve their work and life skills. The prison has 4 dedicated
workshops which manufacture fabricated steel components for
us. The 40 inmates are undertaking formal NVQ qualifications and
gaining valuable work experience that helps reduce re-offending
rates. We are committed to ensuring that we provide equality of
opportunity to all in employment.
Through our recruitment, selection policies and procedures
we aim to eliminate barriers and encourage applicants from
all sections of the community by:
Interviewing all applicants with disabilities who meet
the essential criteria of the post.
Ensuring recruitment and selection procedures
are fair and equitable.
Only considering applicants for jobs based on
their relevant experience, skills and abilities.
We will look to increase the representation of
disadvantaged, minority groups and people with
disabilities within our workforce.
We also have a work experience programme which actively
encourages work experience placements in the business,
and we’re aware that these placements are an important
aspect of supporting skill development for students in the
local area. We have a HR procedure for all work experience
placements to ensure we all understand the requirements
and HR will also maintain a placement tracker for all students
that complete an on-site placement.
