After submitting your application you will receive an acknowledgement email. Your application will be considered following the closing date. If you are successful you will be invited for an interview, however the length of this process is dependent on the opportunity you have applied for.

All applications received will be acknowledged and passed to the recruitment panel.

The recruitment panel will review the applications and short-list candidates for interview. The Human Resources Department will then contact all applicants, usually by email, to either let them know that they have not been short-listed or to invite them to the next stage of the selection process. Short-listing usually takes place within 1-2 weeks of the closing date.

Short-listing
After the closing date the application forms are assessed by a recruitment panel to see how your skills, qualifications and experience relate to the vacancy. Those who best match the criteria will be selected to progress to the next stage of the selection process.

Assessment
If you are short-listed we may ask you to complete a task or a test either at or before the interview or, in some cases, more than one. We use these types of assessment to ensure that candidates are given the best possible opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and experience against the criteria for the role, some of which are more difficult to test through an application form or interview. In some cases, information about a test is included in the job description, in others, full details are provided directly to short-listed candidates.

Interviews
The interview panel is normally made up of two people who each ask the candidate competency-based questions. The questions are intended to expand on your application so that you can demonstrate how far you meet the requirements of the post, and to gather information about any criteria not assessed by the application form. At interview you will also have an opportunity to ask any questions about the job that you may have.

The interview panel keep a record of their assessment of each candidate so that the reasons for their decisions are clear and consistent. You should therefore not be concerned about the panel taking notes during the course of the interview.

We may ask you to bring particular documents to your interview. Full details will be provided if you are invited to interview.

There are two people on most interview panels and in some cases it is difficult to find time when they are all available to conduct interviews so we try to identify interview dates at the beginning of the recruitment process.

Alternative interview dates can be arranged only in exceptional circumstances. In this event you should contact the Human Resources Department to discuss your circumstances, via the contact us link.

If you have applied online and have included your e-mail address and contact telephone numbers we will use one or both of these routes. If you have applied via another method then it will be dependent on the information you have provided.
