Yes but all medical or learning differences need to be assessed. Please phone the National Recruiting Centre for individual application issues on 03456008080.

All specific learning difficulties will be assessed on an individual bases.
Unsure how much it affects you but If you are able to pass the literacy, numeracy and cognitive test at assessment centre then you are good to go
