Happy Harewood Shop Assistant helping a visitor with their purchases in the Courtyard Shop. In the background, wooden shelves are filled with bottles of Nyetimber sparkling wine, books about Harewood and official merchandise from Downton Abbey, Gentleman Jack and Emmerdale - all of which was filmed at Harewood.

A woman in a patterned dress holds an ornate fan in a room reminiscent of a museum with classical decor. Standing before a large portrait of HRH Princess Mary, she is surrounded by paintings, a fireplace, and glass cases displaying fans. The carefully curated setting reflects Harewood’s deep commitment to preserving and celebrating its collections, ensuring their stories endure for future generations.

We joined the Disability Confident scheme as we’re committed to inclusive and accessible recruitment practices and building a diverse team.

Any applicants who identify as disabled and meet the minimum criteria (i.e. the ‘essential criteria’ described in the person specification) will be offered an interview.

If you would like to declare you have a disability in order for this to be taken into consideration or you require any reasonable adjustments for any part of the recruitment process, please get in touch with us at recruitment@harewood.org.

It is important to note that there may be rare occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all Disability Confident candidates who meet the minimum criteria for the job.

For example, if we receive a very large number of applications, we may limit the overall number of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.

In these circumstances we would select the candidates who best meet the minimum criteria for the job rather than all of those that meet the minimum criteria.
