How to apply (and how to do well)
You will answer four scored questions at application stage. We use these to shortlist and longlist, so your answers matter.
-
choose real examples (from professional settings)
-
focus on what you did, not what we did as a group
-
explain your thinking: what you looked at, what you decided, and why
-
keep it clear and specific, avoid generic statements
Please do not use AI to write your answers. We need to assess your skills, and applications may be rejected if answers appear AI-generated.
If your examples are very short, mostly opinion-based, or dont describe a specific situation and outcome, you are unlikely to score well.
Inclusion & Wellbeing
Equality, diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing are vital to the way we work and our culture. We want our colleagues feel included, valued, and supported at work. It is essential that we are representative and accessible for the people who work here and those who use our service.
Actions we take to embed this include:
-
an anonymised shortlisting process to make sure it is fair and unbiased
-
monitoring the demographic trends in our workforce and making measured, sustained efforts to improve our diversity at all levels
-
providing wellbeing support and opportunities for personal and professional development for all colleagues
-
creating spaces for connection and engagement through our employee network groups and social clubs
-
part of the disability confident scheme
-
providing reasonable adjustments
-
engaging in regular inclusion learning to enhance the cultural competency of our organisation.
We know the value of having diverse, representative teams across our organisation. Which is why we particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented within the team. These include people who are:
-
Asian, Black, Mixed Ethnicity or another ethnic background
-
disabled
-
LGBTQ.
