- tell us how your skills, knowledge and experience fit with what we're looking for in this role - it will help if you can use examples from your work, education or personal experience

- ensure your application form is submitted by the closing date as late applications will not be considered
Once we've reviewed your application, you will receive a notification through North East Jobs to let you know if you have been shortlisted for interview or the next stage of assessment.
