Am I qualified for a role?

Please see the job profile or job description in the online job entry. This will list any qualification requirements for the role.

You can find out more about qualifications on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications.

I haven't got the right qualification for the job - what should I do?

If you don't have the right qualification that's essential for the role you're applying for, we won't be able to progress your application further.

Depending on the qualification, you might be able to achieve this by completing a course through our Adult Skills and Community Learning service. You'll then have it when applying for a position with us in the future.

Do I need to provide two references on my application form?

We need to receive two satisfactory references before we can issue a formal offer of employment. Where possible, these should be from a professional. For example, from your current or previous employer.

Please make sure you include phone and email contact details for your referees when completing your application form.

Recruiting managers are expected to complete the shortlisting of application forms within four weeks of the application closing date.

Please allow four weeks after the closing date before contacting us for an update about a delay.

You'll always be informed by email about the outcome of your application.

When will I receive feedback about my application or interview?
