How to apply and application process

Submitting your application

Before making your application, you should read the role profile

Your application will comprise two elements:

1. A brief factual CV in a format of your choice but of no more than 3 sides of A4 (Arial, size 11);

2. A covering letter which includes a brief outline of your professional experience and a statement of suitability covering your key skills and experience relevant to this post.

You should use the brief factual CV as an opportunity to draw the panel’s attention to the standout moments in your career; specifically pulling out the examples that have provided you with the experience and skills necessary to apply for this post.

Details could include:

  • key achievements in particular posts
  • how you have measurably enhanced the culture of an organisation you worked for
  • how you have improved performance in an organisation you have worked for
  • how your knowledge of employment law has benefited your organisation
 

Your statement of suitability will provide you with the opportunity to evidence how you demonstrate the skills and behaviours.

When composing your statement of suitability, you should explain how and why you consider your expertise, personal qualities and experience provide evidence of your suitability for the post. It would also be important to explain why you are interested in this role. This is an important part of your application because the panel assesses the information in your statement of suitability against the skills and experience necessary to determine whether you meet the requirements of the post. You must provide the panel with enough information to make a decision.

You should:

  • read the role profile to understand what you need to demonstrate
  • consider how your own experience and technical skills relate to the sift criteria
  • reflect on roles, tasks and situations in which you demonstrated the necessary skills and developed the necessary experience
 

Please submit your application under "the opportunity" section on the right of this page.
