Please use this section to demonstrate how your skills, knowledge, experience and attitudes match the Person Specification by answering each point in turn. Please keep your statement to no more than two pages.

Guidance:

Please note that when the Person Specification states experience you should detail when you have done this task, how you did it and show how your experience is relevant to this role.

When the Person Specification states ability you should explain what makes you able to undertake the task, referring to past experience or transferable skills. For example, you may not have experience of using a particular computer program but your high level of computer literacy may indicate that you will have the ability to use it once trained. Say how you would carry out the task and what would be particularly important.

When the Person Specification states understanding you should show your understanding by discussing the topic or task and stressing key issues. For example, it will not be acceptable to simply write, “I understand and adhere to equal opportunities” since this does not demonstrate any understanding.
