This accessibility statement applies to the Guildford Borough Council Jobs Portal: https://jobs.guildford.gov.uk/

This portal is run by Guildford Borough Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this portal. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
