Applying For Jobs

Each advert will give you a brief overview of the role.  For detailed information on each advert, please follow the link to the Job Description and Person Specification available in the Vacancy Information document.  Our adverts often include contact details for the recruiting manager for a further informal discussion.

Am I the right person for this job?

The Person Specification is very important, it tells you what skills, knowledge and experience a person must have to be able to do the job.  Decisions on who to invite for interview are made by comparing what you tell us on your application form to the Person Specification.  If you want to be shortlisted for interview, it is vital that you provide evidence on your form to show how you meet the essential criteria.

Can I submit a CV?

All applicants must complete a standard application form to be considered.  If you submit a CV alongside your application it will be passed to the recruiting manager as supporting information, but may not be used to make a decision on your suitability for the role.  

How do I apply?

We recommend that you apply using the online application form currently available in each job vacancy page.  The online form is easy to use and your progress can be saved at the end of each section.  This means you can complete it over several sessions.

An application pack can be also downloaded from this site using the 'Application Form' link or requested by calling Xentrall Recruitment Services on the number opposite.

Closing Dates

Please ensure you complete and return your application in good time for the closing date specified in the job advert. Applications received after the closing date will not be considered.
