Stage 1
How to apply and our selection process
We are a values-based organisation. Our values are a central part of our working culture and our people management processes. We use these to recruit, manage and develop our staff. For more information on our values and behaviours framework, please visit our values pages in our Employee Handbook.
To apply for our roles, click 'apply' and this will allow you to register and upload your CV (if you've not already).
You’ll be asked to write a values-based supporting statement based on the job description of the role you’re applying for. The job description will detail the main recruitment selection criteria under each value, in the sections titled “And in delivering these, you will have”. Your application will be assessed solely on your statement.
You’ll need to provide one or more examples to cover each bullet point, in the four value sections entitled “And in delivering these you will have”
Please provide details from your background or career, of where and how you have demonstrated that value.
When completing and submitting the values-based statement to apply of this role:
- Please provide evidence against each of our four values, a maximum of 400 words is allowed per value
- Please use the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to address the key delivery requirements under each value in the Job Description. You’ll need to provide examples to cover each point in all the sections entitled “and in delivering these you will have”.
- Each value should be clearly formatted, and your examples may include specific skills, experience, abilities, knowledge and strengths you have.
- We have a separate box on our system for you to input each value
- Please do not input anything into the values boxes until you’re ready to submit your application.
- Please complete your answers offline, perhaps in Word, and then copy and paste your answers into the system when you’re ready to submit your application.
- We recommend that you check your answers, by reading the inputted information in the box, when you’ve copied and pasted the information into the system, just to ensure it’s all there.
- Please only click ‘Next’ to submit your application when you're content it’s complete. When you click ‘Next’, you don’t have the option to go back.
- If you 'cancel' then your work won't be saved.
- The system will time out after an hour and your work will be lost if you don’t complete it in that time. You don't have the option to save your application and return to it later.
- If the system times out, you can go into your ‘candidate profile’ to access and complete your statement.
- If you mistakenly submit your statement prior to completing this on the system, please email [email protected] with full details of the role you’re applying for, what has happened, and your completed statement.
Please note that only your supporting statement will be submitted to Hiring Managers, without any personal details, and they will then select candidates for further assessment or interview.
Stage 2
At the final stage, you’ll be invited to attend an in person panel interview. Interviews will be held on Thursday, 7 November although this is subject to change.
Feedback will be provided on request.
If you have any questions about the recruitment process, please email [email protected]
After the interview
We’ll aim to let you know the outcome of your interview as soon as we can. This will normally be within 10 working days. If you’re unsuccessful at interview stage, you can ask us for feedback. We want to ensure a positive candidate experience, so we’ll also contact you to ask for your feedback on the whole recruitment process.
