Planning for the future - Getting into employment

Ricoh is empowering digital workplaces using innovative technologies and services enabling individuals to work smarter. For more than 80 years, Ricoh has been driving innovation and is a leading provider of document management solutions, IT services, communication services, commercial and industrial printing, digital cameras, and industrial systems.

We have offices nationwide, although offices with the most roles suited to those with convictions are our Head Office in Northampton, Sales Office in London and ITS Business in Warrington.

How do we support those with convictions?

  • Promotion of the BITC Ban the Box Campaign – by removing the convictions ‘tick box’ on the application form, all candidates have a fair and equal chance to achieve an opportunity for an interview and are merely assessed on their skills and ability. When a conviction is disclosed this is then risk assessed against the role that they have applied for.
  • Prison Employability Workshops – we use volunteers from all areas of the business to run interview workshops in prisons around the UK for prisoners who are soon to be released.
  • ROTL and post release work placements – giving valuable experience to those with gaps within their CVs and the tools that they require to gain meaningful employment.

If you are interested in applying to us please go to the following link, and if you find a role that you want to find more about or even apply for, please also email ESG Manager James Knox on james.knox@ricoh.co.uk

One employee with a conviction said “I was advised not to shout it from the rooftop, but at the same time they said I have the freedom to say so, if and when the time is right, and we will support you if there are any negative reactions. There is a positive energy here and that helps build your confidence”.
