What next?

Stage 1: Application

You may submit an application form in respect of a current vacancy or submit a speculative application. If you have sent a speculative application, we will hold your details on file for a maximum of 6 months until a suitable vacancy arises. Your application will then form part of our short-listing process.

Stage 2: Contacted

Successful applicants will be short-listed and contacted as soon as possible after the closing date.  This would normally be within three  weeks of the closing date. Due to the high number of applications received, regrettably we cannot reply to every applicant. If you have not heard from us within 28 days of the closing date, your application has been unsuccessful.

Stage 3: Interview

Getting the right person is extremely important to us. As part of your interview, you may be asked to carry out a presentation/task and complete an assessment. Details will be provided in your invitation letter to attend an interview.  

Stage 4: Confirmation

Confirmation letters will follow for both successful and unsuccessful interviewees.
