Employment policy

We’re committed to equal opportunity throughout the organisation and aim to manage openly, honestly and fairly, developing a bond of trust with every employee. We think that starts with every person knowing their responsibility as part of an inclusive organisation, since equal opportunity is about everybody. We’re committed to:

• Treating every person equitably across all aspects of employment from recruitment through to development and training. Both internal and external applicants should be considered on individual ability regardless of factors such as gender, age, colour, creed, race, ethnic origin, disability, marital status, religion or belief, trade union membership or sexual preference and orientation.

• Treating full-time, part-time, fixed term, permanent and temporary employees in the same way.

• Providing training and development based on an assessment of an individual's needs and ability regardless of such factors as above.

• Operating a grievance procedure which effectively resolves complaints relating to alleged discrimination.

• Ensuring that all employees responsible for making employment decisions understand the legal, moral and business reasons for providing equal opportunities at work.

• Annually reviewing our Equal Opportunities data to identify potential discrimination or barriers to achieving equal opportunities.

• Treating any breaches of our policy as cases of gross misconduct.


Disability Two Ticks

NFU Mutual is an Equal Opportunities Employer and we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a role. When you apply for a role, we will ask if you are disabled to ensure that we uphold our commitment to this principle.


Retirement Age

NFU Mutual has a retirement age of 65 years which it has set in accordance with the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006. This means that we are unfortunately unable to accept applications from people who are aged over 65 or who are within 6 months of their 65th birthday.
