As part of your application you will need to provide your education and career history and answer some application/shortlisting questions. Your answers to the application/shortlisting questions are the most important part of your application as they will be used in the shortlisting process to assess whether you meet the essential requirements for the role that are set out in the person specification and to decide whether you should be offered an interview. Before you start your application please read ourShortlisting questions guidance ()as this gives important advice which will increase your chance of success in the shortlisting process.

AI advice for candidates
We are interested in hearing about your experience and skills in your own words. While we value people who know how to use AI we ask that you minimise using it in your application.

We are keen to hear how your experience and skills align to our values and the skills and experience needed to perform well in our roles with clear real examples from you. To support you in this we have guidance on using the STAR model which can help you ensure you are telling us your whole story. We also provide clarity on the skills we are looking for in our adverts and in the job description/person specification attached to each job advert.

All the applications we receive are read by at least two hiring managers and we do not use AI in this process.

Our experience of reading applications is that those that have heavily used AI contain generic paragraphs that are strikingly similar to other applicants responses. This makes it extremely difficult to differentiate between applications and doesnt give us enough evidence of your individual skills. There is a risk that we will therefore not be able to shortlist you. Instead we recommend you ensure your application stands out by presenting clear examples of your actual skills and experiences in your own words.
