Your answers to these questions are really important to us and are how our hiring managers make decisions on who to meet for interview.

The questions we ask are designed to highlight the experience, skills and values that align with the role but might not be immediately obvious in your CV.

You will also see some Diversity Monitoring Questions. This information is completely anonymous and there is no way of us connecting your answers to your application. This information allows us to see at a high level where our applicant pool lacks diversity, and identify trends that can help us to make our application process more inclusive.

We appreciate this adds more time to your application, but we would really appreciate it if you could complete as much information as possible. If there are areas you'd prefer not to answer, please select "Prefer not to say".

Using AI in your application

We get it - job applications take time, and it’s sometimes hard to find inspiration and know where to start. We recognise that some candidates might use AI (such as Chat GPT) to help them write their application. 

This can sometimes lead to challenges that can impact your application. So, we’ve put together some tips to help you avoid some of the common pitfalls.
