Guidance for job applicants

Completing your application

The application process requires you to upload your CV, address the key selection criteria outlined in the person specification, complete some additional information, and then submit - it's as easy as that.

Your application is your opportunity to demonstrate that you are able to meet the requirements of the job. You should describe the kind of work you have done, relevant experience that you have had and try to give examples of your successes and achievements.

Any experience gained outside of paid employment may be equally relevant, so give considerable thought to this area. Describe any relevant skills that have helped you develop.

It is vital that you address all the key selection criteria in your application, as outlined in the person specification. The person specification outlines the qualifications (if applicable), skills, knowledge, competencies and experience that are needed to do the job successfully.

Please note: We will shortlist only those applicants who demonstrate in their application that they meet the essential selection criteria. If there are a large number of applicants who meet the essential criteria for the job, the desirable criteria may be used to shortlist.

Keep a copy of your application with the job description and person specification for future reference.
