Accessibility
1. Our position
Nurses read this site at the end of a shift, on a phone, on hospital wifi, often one-handed. Accessibility is not a compliance exercise for us; it is the difference between a clinician finding work and giving up.
We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.1, Level AA. We do not claim to have reached it yet.
2. What we have done
- Text and background colors on the pages we have built meet the AA contrast ratio.
- Every interactive control can be reached and operated with a keyboard, and shows a visible focus outline.
- Images carry alternative text, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Buttons and links carry accessible names that say what they do, not just "click here".
- Headings run in order so a screen reader can navigate by structure.
- Form fields have real labels, not placeholder text standing in for one.
- Text reflows without a horizontal scrollbar down to a 320 pixel viewport.
- Text can be enlarged to 200 percent without content being cut off.
- Animation, including the rotating hero and the scrolling logo strip, stops when a visitor's device is set to reduce motion.
- Carousels can be moved with arrow keys, not only by dragging.
3. Ongoing work
Accessibility is not a project that finishes. New pages, new listings and new content all have to meet the same bar, and browsers and assistive technology keep changing.
We test as we build, and we treat an accessibility problem the same as any other defect: it gets logged and fixed.
4. Content we do not control
Job listings reach us from facilities and from MSP and VMS platforms. Where we display that content, its wording and formatting come from the source, and we cannot always correct it.
Some steps in applying for work happen on a third-party system, including our applicant tracking system and our screening provider. Those systems are not ours and we do not control their accessibility. If one of them blocks you, tell us and we will complete that step with you directly.
5. If something does not work
Call (415) 529-4066 or write to accessibility@advantra.health.
A recruiter can take an application over the phone, read a listing to you, send documents in a different format, or arrange another way to complete any step of the process. There is no disadvantage in asking, and asking does not affect how we assess you for work.
6. Telling us about a problem
If you hit a barrier on this site, we want the detail:
- The page you were on.
- What you were trying to do.
- The device, browser and any assistive technology you were using.
Write to accessibility@advantra.health. We aim to acknowledge within two business days and to tell you what we intend to do and by when.
