Equal Opportunities

Promoting equality of opportunity means that everyone is treated solely on the basis of competence and merit, regardless of gender, parental or marital status, ethnic or national origin, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability or any other criteria not specifically related to potential skills and abilities. Ambitek endeavours to provide a working environment free from unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation on the above grounds. This applies in the recruitment, selection, employment conditions, training and promotion of all Ambitek employees and amongst those who use the service provided by Ambitek, both clients and candidates.

Ambitek Equal Opportunities Policy extends to the service it provides through its employment agency operations. All candidates will be interviewed, assessed and submitted to clients on the basis of their ability and merits, according to the requirements of the vacancy or assignment. Ambitek's employees will not accept any unlawful condition or requirement that is not justified by the genuine needs of the job.

Ambitek will not tolerate any acts which breach the Policy and all instances of such behaviour or alleged behaviour will be taken seriously, be fully investigated and may be subject to the Company's disciplinary procedure.
