How we select candidates
We identify which skills we consider to be essential to the role that we are advertising and mark these with an asterisk on the person specification.
We ask applicants to submit their CV and ask them to identify their experience in relation to these essential skills in a covering letter.
We use the information in the covering letter and CV to decide whether applicants are shortlisted for interview. To do this we examine the ways in which applicants have demonstrated how they meet the essential skills we have identified.
We do not make any assumptions about an applicant's achievements and abilities. Therefore, applicants must be clear about how they match our requirements.
Those who score highest will be invited to interview. We will contact all applicants as soon as possible after the closing date to advise them whether they have been shortlisted or not.
We advertise the date on which we will be holding interviews on the original advertisement.

Please help us to make sure that we are meeting these commitments by filling out our equal opportunities form. We ask everyone who applies for a job as well as those who work for us to do this. Thank you for your help.
