Hints and Tips
Application
The first stage of every selection process requires that you complete and return an application form. This allows us to assess each applicant on the basis of their qualifications, experience and personal qualities. Applicants must complete all parts the relevant application form, however a CV may also be attached.
The statement in Support of Application, provides you with an opportunity to make yourself stand-out from other applicants.
Interview
Research into the organisation, and an awareness of current health issues would also be useful preparation.
Interview questions will require you to recall real situations that you have experienced. These questions are designed to gain a better understanding of your experiences and, more importantly, your contribution, behaviour and learning from those situations. For some positions you may be required to give a short presentation. Whilst you will be given advance notice of the subject to be covered, the intention is to assess your presentation skills, not necessarily whether you have an in depth knowledge of the subject.
Our interviews are structured to ensure that all applicants are given equal opportunity, and additionally enables us to make objective and accurate selection decisions.
You should bring copies of any qualifications that are referred to in your application and proof of entitlement to work in the UK (passport/visa/work permit).
