We want to ensure that every applicant is treated fairly. In making recruitment decisions we will not consider previous applications or our personal knowledge of you (if applicable).

- Submit a comprehensive CV. Please ensure all gaps in employment and education history are fully explained as we may wish to verify this information during the recruitment process.
- Use the supporting statement to tell us why you are the right person for this voluntary role. Ensure that it addresses and provides evidence against the key elements of the role profile. This might be through qualifications or descriptive examples from your work/personal experience, (which clearly illustrates what you did and the effect it had). Wherever possible, please relate your own skills and experiences back to these requirements, giving specific examples of how you can demonstrate competence in these areas.
- Provide details of two referees so that we can take up your references prior to appointment. We will seek you permission before we make contact.
- Please also complete the recruitment monitoring form (Word doc) [52KB] so that we can monitor the effectiveness of our equality and diversity policies and to enable us to ensure that our recruitment processes are working for all sections of the community.
