The selection process includes:
A sift of applications: The panel will consider all complete applications. The information you give us in your application is important in deciding whether we will invite you to the next selection stage. Candidates will be assessed at sift on all essential criteria as per the person specification. Desirable criteria will be assessed at sift where there is a strong field of candidates as a second stage after essential criteria have been considered.
When you apply, you will be applying for both roles, as they are assessed against the same criteria. At interview, we will ask candidates their preferred role, either in finance or procurement and will endeavour to place successful candidates in their preferred role.
Assessment and Interview: Candidates who are successful at the sifting stage will be invited to assessment and interview at our office in Cardiff on 1 July 2026. Candidates will be asked to complete an assessment designed to evaluate the skills, experience and behaviours required for the role. The assessment will include practical tasks relevant to the post, focusing on areas such as numeracy, accuracy, communication and attention to detail. Successful candidates will then be invited to attend a panel interview. Further information will be provided to shortlisted applicants.
Feedback will only be provided if you attend an interview or assessment.
