I’m really interested in one of your current vacancies.  How can I apply for it?

By far the easiest way is to apply online via this website using the online application form.  You can find the application form when viewing the information about the post.  You can free-type in all of the fields and answer the exact same questions you would on a paper form.  Once you have completed the form, you can click submit and your form is e-mailed to us automatically.  Saving you lots of time and money on postage.

Alternatively you can call our 24 hour answerphone on 01934 524421 and leave a message requesting a job pack stating which vacancy you are interested in.  We will then send you out all the details you will need to make an application.

How long do I have to submit my application?

For each vacancy you will see a closing date for applications.  This date appears online and is included in the information pack sent out to those without access to the website.  If you are posting your application you should ensure you leave enough time for the application to reach us.  The perfect answer is to apply on-line, via this site.  By doing this the application form is delivered to us immediately, which might give you valuable time in which to submit your application before the position closes.

I’ve never filled in an on-line application before.  How does it work?

The on-line application form is the simplest and quickest way of applying for one of our positions.  It contains the same questions as the paper form, yet, has many added benefits.  There is a link to the application form via each vacancy.  By clicking this it opens up the form and automatically fills in the relevant details about the post.  All you have to do then is work down through each question and type your answer.  Do not worry if your answer is larger than the provided box.  If this is the case, the box creates a scrolling function so that you can free-type as much relevant information as you like. Your full text answer will appear on your completed form.

You can then simply submit the application form by a click of a button.  A copy of your application is sent immediately to our recruitment team.  A copy is also forwarded to your e-mail address for your records.  It really is as simple as that.

For more guidance on applying on-line see the guidance notes.

How will I know if you have received my on-line application form?

When you have completed your on-line application you can click the submit button.  This allows you to view a copy of your application.  If you are happy with the contents you can click submit and your form is e-mailed to us instantly.  Providing you have completed your e-mail address properly in the relevant field on the form, you will also instantly be mailed a copy of your application.  This is a signal to be sure we have received your form.
