Applying for a job

Read the job description

Read the job description carefully. This provides you with information to help your application, as well as the salary, hours and location. Look at any attached documents too – especially the job description and person specification which tell you the detail of the job, plus the skills, experience, knowledge and qualifications you need. Make a note the deadline and give yourself plenty of time to complete the application form.

Complete the application form

Start your online application going to the online application form in the job description. We’ve provided guidance on some of the sections of the application form to help you answer the questions in the best way possible. You can save your application at any time and come back to complete it later.

Submitting the online application

• Make sure you’ve answered all of the mandatory fields.
• Check your application to make sure you haven’t made any mistakes. If possible, ask someone else to proof read it.
• Make sure the information you have provided is correct. An application form is a legal document, so it’s vital to complete it honestly and accurately.
