Next steps...
Once
you click apply you will be asked some questions to check you are eligible for
this role. These will questions around your current situation, whether you’re
happy with the salary, location etc.
If
you are eligible to apply we will then send you some cognitive tests to
complete. These will be sent via an email link and will give us a great idea on
your numerical ability as well as testing you in a few other areas. Remember
practise makes perfect so make sure you’re prepared when you give these a go!
We
will then do a final review of your entire application and if successful,
invite you to an Assessment Centre. Please be patient with us, sometimes it can
take a few weeks before your application gets reviewed.
Our
Assessment Centres this year will all be completely virtual; they will be
running from when applications open until the roles are filled. These
Assessment Centres are specific to function, so please be patient if you don’t
get invited straight away – it might just be because your function’s Assessment
Centre date isn’t until later on in the recruitment period!
Please
note, if you apply for more than one role you will be put forward for the one
we deem most suitable for you. If you have a strong preference, please only
apply to that one role to ensure you are considered for the correct role.
