Your application

Candidates whose applications best match our requirements will be invited to attend an interview. It is therefore essential your application provides full yet concise evidence that you meet the criteria for the post.

If selected for interview you will be asked to bring with you your original qualification certificates and proof of identity such as a passport, or birth certificate with other photographic ID. For some of our posts we request a presentation as part of the interview. The panel, which usually consists of three interviewers, will assess your suitability for the post and questions will be based around the criteria as detailed within the job description. Interviews usually last no longer than one hour and results are usually available within seven days.
