I am disabled - can I still apply?
Of course. If you have certain special needs or are having difficulty applying due to a disability, please let us know as soon as possible. Please rest assured it will not impact on your application. Atos Origin has a policy of equality both in our recruitment process and once you have joined us.
How do I apply? - Is it all online, or do you accept paper application forms as well?
Please apply online. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we have to manage all applications in one place and so cannot accept paper applications. Please let us know if you are having problems applying due to a disability and we will ensure that you are able to complete your application to Atos Origin.
