Reasonable adjustments
We want everyone to be at their best throughout our recruitment process. To create a fair and accessible experience, we offer reasonable adjustments at multiple stages.
You do not need a formal diagnosis to request support. You might ask for adjustments if you have a disability or long-term condition, including:
- Neurodivergent conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, or autism
- Mental health conditions
- Sensory impairments (such as hearing or vision)
- Physical conditions or disabilities
Common adjustments we’ve made include giving extra time for practical tests, printing interview questions, or sharing questions in advance. You can also read about how adjustments supported one of our team members in Sophie's blog.
To ensure there are no surprises, you'll receive an assessment guide before each stage. Our recruitment team will work closely with you to understand your needs and agree on the best approach together.
If you'd like to talk your options through or request an adjustment, please contact our recruitment team at recruitment@autotrader.co.uk.
