We'll be in touch
We screen all applications, usually within five to ten working days from the closing date. In some cases we might need to give you a call to ask some further questions or to get you to complete some on-line tests. If you're not selected to proceed to the next stage we'll let you know via e-mail.
If you are selected for the next stage, we will let you know where to go, when and what will actually happen. You will generally need to attend an interview and in some cases there may be some further testing or a need to attend an assessment centre with a number of other people who've applied.
Following the interview
We will contact the referees of preferred candidates shortly after the interview.
Offers of employment
All our offers of employment are:
- made in writing and conditional upon a clear tax and criminal check
- we need your consent to complete these checks.
If you were interviewed but didn't secure the role we will let you know. You can ask us for feedback at that time.
