ITV is for everyone.
ITV aims to remove barriers for people from all backgrounds, we recognise that a healthy newsroom and working environment is a diverse one. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people of colour, and deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people, and those from lower socio-economic groups, as we recognise that individuals from these groups are currently underrepresented in our industry.
At the interview stage, we need to understand how candidates will react when operating under time pressure, so we will carry out a range of activities in order to do this.
Reasonable adjustments as part of the interview process are considered whilst still ensuring that we are able to test a candidate's ability to operate in the specific environment of a newsroom.
As part of our reasonable adjustments, we're happy to discuss any support/personalisation you may need during our application and selection process. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at talkingcareers@itv.com with any queries around this.
- There may be a few exceptions where we are not able to take all eligible candidates to the next stage due to the volume of applications.
