Next steps...
Once you click apply
you will be asked some questions to check you are eligible for this role. These
will be questions around your current situation, whether you’re happy with the
salary, location etc.
If you are eligible
to apply, you will then be sent a link via email to ‘Step 2’ of the application
process; the online assessments. Keep an eye out for this (it might even land
in your spam folder!). Although there is no deadline for completion, the quicker
you submit your answers the quicker we can continue to move you through the
process!
Once we have your
results, our recruiters will conduct a final review of your entire application
and if successful, invite you to an Assessment Centre. Please be patient with
us as we receive a high volume of applications and want to spend time going through
each of them.
Our Assessment
Centres this year will mostly be in person, 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.
