This Accessibility Statement covers York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Career website. This website is run by York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. However, currently the Webflow Designer (The product used to create this website) does not fully support assistive technology, and they continue to work to improve support.

The most commonly used Webflow elements have been updated and tested for keyboard operability and screen reader support. Those elements include Tabs, Dropdown, Image, Text Link, Link Block, Button, Section, List, List Item, Collection List, Navbar, and Slider. Sites using these accessible elements conform to levels as high as WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Webflow are actively building a roadmap to make accessibility improvements across the product.
