Please read these carefully before completing the application form.

You should have a job description and person specification with this application form.

Job Description - The job description describes the objectives and duties of the job for which you are applying. You should check that you feel able to undertake the job before applying.

Person Specification - The person specification describes the skills, experiences, abilities and other factors we shall be looking for when selecting applicants. Please read carefully and address how you will fulfil each point on the specification when filling in the supporting information section of the application form.

It is very important that you fill in this form as fully and completely as possible, giving concrete evidence of skills, experience and examples where possible.

Equal opportunities

This organisation is committed to equal opportunities and we have a duty to ensure that all recruitment decisions are based on criteria relevant to the job. We will not discriminate unfairly on the grounds of an applicant’s colour, race, nationality or ethnic origin, level of physical ability, religious belief or lack of it, marital status, sexual orientation, responsibility for dependants, age, appearance or membership of a trade union. We monitor all applicants for employment. It would be helpful if you could complete the monitoring form included as a separate sheet with this application form. It will be kept separately from your application form.

Complaints Procedure

If you feel that you have been discriminated against during any stage of the recruitment procedure, please write to the chair of the Management Committee via our office address. You will then be advised of our complaints procedure.
