  MANUAL HANDLING
  
  It should be noted that manual handling tasks such as lifting and bending are “essential requirements” of this role.
  
  Whilst Alliance Healthcare is committed to developing positive policies to promote equal opportunities in employment, we have a duty of care to ensure we do not instigate or worsen any conditions that would prevent the employee from carrying out manual handling duties.
  
  On that basis, for this role we cannot make “reasonable adjustments” for any applicant who is unable to carry out such duties. If you are unsure as to whether this applies to your application, you must detail on your application form and discuss at interview any information you feel may be relevant.
  
  Existing employees should keep their line manager informed of any changes that may affect their ability to carry out such duties
