We are a Disability Confident employer, which means that we are committed to employing and developing disabled people in the workplace creating a more diverse workplace at LiveWest.

We continue to develop our strategy to make our recruitment processes accessible to all; making reasonable adaptations when required to ensure that everyone, no matter of their disability, has a fair starting point.
Career Transition Partnership
We are affiliated with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP).
The CTP provides resettlement services for those leaving the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force, and Marines. Regardless of time served, all members of the Armed Forces can benefit from CTP support when leaving Service.
Since we have been in partnership with the CTP, we have been able to provide several exciting work placements which have enabled those members of the Armed Forces to retrain in a new career. Particularly within our Property Services team, where we have had a number of members gain the essential on the job experience that is required to become a fully qualified gas engineer. We have been delighted to have been able to offer some permanent positions at the end of their work experience.
By placing all of our jobs on the CTP job board, we have also recruited a number of ex-Armed Forces members within a variety of teams including our People Services team, Income team, and Mechanical and Electrical team.
The Armed Forces Covenant
This includes the moral obligation to those who serve, or have served, their families and the bereaved.
The underlying principles are that members of the armed forces community should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services; and that special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given the most such as the injured or the bereaved.
Through our work with the Career Transition Partnership, we were proud to have been presented with a Silver Award for Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition scheme in 2017.
