For every post advertised you must ensure that you complete a separate application form and supporting statement as each role will have a different job description and person specification and therefore different requirements.

It is important that you demonstrate for each role why you are a suitable candidate for that particular post.

We will use the detail provided on your application form under the ‘Employment History’ section of your application form to request employment references from both your current and previous employer.

If you have just completed full-time education, your course tutor, or other academic staff member familiar with your work, could be used as an alternative.

We also request details of two character referees who are not connected with your present or previous employer.

The time that we take to respond to candidates will vary from post to post depending on how many applications we receive. However, all candidates will be notified as to the outcome of their application within a few weeks of the closing date.

In exceptional circumstances where the shortlisting process takes longer than expected, candidates will be contacted accordingly.

The purpose of the Equal Opportunities monitoring form is to assist us in monitoring the implementation and effectiveness of our Equal Opportunities policy.

The information collected will be stored and processed in accordance with Data Protection Principles for the purpose of preparing anonymised statistical reports where appropriate.

The information will not be made available to the selection panel and will not, therefore, be used in any part of the recruitment decision making process.
