Information for Applicants

General

·                 Please complete the form using Black ink.

·                 Please write clearly throughout.

·                 Please complete ALL sections of the form. If a section is not relevant to you e.g. “qualifications”, then please state that this is so, e.g. “Non Applicable”.

·                 Failure to complete the form in its entirety will result in your application

           not being short listed.

Employment History

This section must be completed in full detailing all your employment history, not just the posts you consider relevant.  Please use an additional sheet if necessary.  Please ensure that all dates are correct and that you complete the “reason for leaving” section. If you have any gaps in your employment history e.g. unemployment, bringing up family etc, please record these in the same way as your employment and include reasons for these periods, if necessary using an additional sheet of paper.

Why You Have Applied for the Post

You have been given the opportunity to tell us why you have applied for the post. This will play a significant part in the shortlisting process and applicants are advised to give due consideration to this section. Candidates are advised, however, that the quality rather than the quantity of response will be assessed.

If possible you should refer to the job description and person specification and highlight how you experience matches the skills required.

References

·         References will NOT be taken up until an offer of employment has been made unless a specific request is made of you.

·         References will always be taken up direct from your referees.  Any copies of references you may have been given when you left a previous post are not acceptable.

·         Please ensure that full and correct postal addresses are given, including post code.  

·         References must be professional, NOT personal, and should cover the whole of the previous three years of employment.  Your most recent employer must be one of your referees.

·         Educational establishments may be given as referees for those returning to work, or beginning work following education.  Under no circumstances should a member of your family or a personal friend be cited as a referee.
