Shortlisting
After the closing date, a panel of two or more managers will
examine the applications we have received and will make an
assessment of your competencies and skills against the requirements
of the vacancy you have applied for. These requirements
are detailed in the job description.
If you are one of the people who most closely demonstrates how
you meet those requirements, we will invite you to meet with us for
the next stage of the process. If you do not fully meet the
requirements, we will be more than happy to provide you with
detailed feedback on the reasons why. We would also encourage
you to apply for other vacancies as and when they arise.
Note that the panel will only consider your CV and covering
letter. We use the Diversity monitoring form and Security clearance
form for information and monitoring purposes only and the panel
will not see them at any stage.
What happens at the next stage?
Each of our job descriptions includes sections on core
competencies and skills that we are looking for. It is these
areas, as well as your understanding of the role and what you can
bring to it and the organisation that we will assess you against at
the next stage.
Depending on the role, we may ask you to complete some tests or
give a presentation on a specific topic, or to meet some of our
existing employees.
We will conduct an interview with a panel - usually made
up of two or three people. We will explore the areas you
cover in your application further, and we will ask you to give
specific examples of your previous work.
In some cases we may ask you to attend for a second
interview.
When we have made a decision, we will call you to give you the
outcome. If you have been successful we will give you more
details on the role and salary, and send you a formal offer letter
and contract.
If you are not successful at this stage, we will offer you the
opportunity to get full feedback on how your interview
went.
Is there a fast track or graduate entry scheme?
We do not currently operate such a scheme.
