Your application

There are some general points to remember when completing any application form: 

• The application form is the first step in the recruitment process which may lead to an interview and a possible job offer. It is therefore essential to complete it to the best of your ability, as it forms the first impression of your application.
• Read the instructions on the application form carefully before completing it.
• It is important that you complete ALL sections of the application form which are relevant to you as clearly and fully as possible.
• Take time to complete your application form as this will be the main information used to decide whether you will be selected for further consideration.
• The job description gives details of the experience, skills and abilities needed to carry out the duties. Every application will be compared against the job description. When completing your application remember you must show clearly how your knowledge, skills and experience are relevant to the requirements of the post.
• Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 employers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments where, compared to a non-disabled person, a disabled person is substantially disadvantaged by either the working arrangements (which include the recruitment process) or the working environment. If you have a disability it is a good idea to contact the employer direct to discuss any arrangements that you may require to allow you to complete the application form and attend interview if you are short-listed.
