Any application forms containing information that is discovered to be untrue or inaccurate will not be accepted.  If an appointment has already been made, it may result in disqualification from appointment or dismissal.

• Applications must be received by the designated deadline (time and date). Those applications received after the designated deadline will not be accepted.
• Please note that it is our policy to communicate with applicants primarily by email, so we ask that you check your email account regularly to avoid missing any emails.

Essential and Desirable Criteria

• Essential and Desirable criteria are a vital part of your application. Read the Job Description and Personnel Specification carefully before completing this section and base your supporting evidence on the Essential and Desirable criteria.
• It is essential that you demonstrate by providing personal and specific details – within the word limit – how you meet the essential criteria, otherwise you may not be shortlisted.
• It is not sufficient to simply state that you possess the criteria – you must fully demonstrate in your responses, by outlining your experience and qualifications.

It is recommended that you use the following model to describe experience:

Situation:

Describe a specific example that relates to the criteria

Task:

Explain the context or background to the example. Who else was involved? What were the particular circumstances etc?

Action:

Outline the specific actions you took to meet the challenge

Result:

Describe the result or outcome of your actions. Consider if, with hindsight, your actions were correct; what, if, anything would you do differently now; and what have you learnt from this experience.
