Completing your application form
As part of our commitment to Safer Recruitment, we require this form to be completed in full.
Alongside this application form, we have provided a Job Role Description, a Person Specification/Role Profile and any other information we feel you may find helpful. Please read ALL the information before you fill in the form.
The Job Role Description tells you the work you will do if you are appointed.
The Person Specification/Role Profile is very important. It tells you what skills, knowledge and experience you will need to be able to do the job. The person specification is set out in terms of essential and desirable criteria. You MUST show how you meet all of the essential criteria, but don't be put off if you do not meet all of the desirable criteria.
Decisions on who to invite for interview are based on what you put on your application form – make sure you show how (with examples) you meet each of the essential criteria and as many of the desirables as you can. The Person Specification will say which items are to be evaluated from the application form - it's a good idea to be especially careful for these items.
DON'T FORGET that where you are asked for details of relevant experience, it doesn't just mean paid work.
You can back up your statements with examples of what you have done in the past either at home, school or college, in paid work or unpaid work, or as a hobby.
For example:
- running a home may involve a range of skills like organising and budgeting;
- being active in a club, tenant's group or other voluntary organisation may show skills like teamwork, communicating or customer care.
Thank you for your interest and good luck with your application
