CareCo reaffirms commitment to accessibility with Disability Confident Leader accreditation
Mobility retailer CareCo has reaffirmed its commitment to accessibility and inclusion by obtaining Level 3 accreditation as a Disability Confident Leader.
The accreditation, which was issued on 1st February 2025, was sought because CareCo wants its employees to know they are supported from the recruitment process, throughout their career with CareCo.
Jane Bunting, Head of HR at CareCo says, “At CareCo, we are proud to be recognised as a Disability Confident Leader, reaffirming our commitment to accessibility and inclusion in all aspects of our business. CareCo was established to support those with mobility – both through the products we provide and the services we offer in our stores. That same commitment extends to our employees.
“Disability can affect anyone at any time, and we want every member of our team to feel confident that they will be supported in their role, whatever their needs. If an employee develops a disability or health condition, we are committed to providing the right adjustments and ongoing support to help them thrive.
“We also believe in hiring the best talent based on skills and potential, ensuring our recruitment process is fair, accessible, and inclusive. No one should face barriers to employment because of a disability. Achieving Disability Confident Leader status reflects our dedication to building a truly inclusive workplace – one where everyone has the opportunity to grow, succeed, and be part of CareCo’s journey.”
Will Harrison, Founder of CareCo, added, “Our people are what makes our business a success. Whether we are investing in our internal leadership development program or offering opportunities to those who want to contribute to our success, there is no doubt, that the people who work for CareCo make us what we are.
“This recognition is something we are extremely proud of and something that we will continue to invest in and develop. A disability will never stop us from employing genuinely talented people, and we want to ensure that our staff feel comfortable when they come to work every day.”
CareCo has shops across England, Scotland, and Wales. Recently, CareCo celebrated becoming certified in accordance with a number of ISO standards.
