Applications are now closed and will re-open in September 2008. You can revisit your online application to monitor the progress of your application.
We've divided the form into different sections. You can complete each section separately and save it as you go along. You'll need to enter your email address (so we can contact you) and a password to get you into a secure section of our website to continue your application.
If you don't have regular web access, you may want to print off a copy of the application form and use it to work out your answers.
Make sure you check your application thoroughly - once you hit 'submit', there's no turning back.
Our policy 'Valuing Diversity' embodies our commitment to equal opportunities. This ensures that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment because of his or her race, sex, religion/belief, disability, marital or civil partnership status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or caring responsibilities, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements that cannot be shown to be justifiable.
We are also a registered user of the Employment Service's Two Ticks disability scheme, which means we actively encourage the recruitment, development and retention of disabled people.
The application form contains an equal opportunities section to help us monitor the success of our policy. We pride ourselves on being an equal opportunities employer and it's important to us that you provide relevant details to help us ensure our policy works for you.
However, please note that provision of this information is voluntary. Refusal to complete this information will not subject you to adverse treatment or affect your application in any way. The information you provide is confidential and will be kept separate from your other application information, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. This information will only be used for data reporting requirements and will not be considered in making any employment decisions.
Please read our terms and conditions to understand how we use and protect your personal information.

Career opportunities
You'll need to choose the stream you want to be considered for. (If you apply to the Functional Specialist stream, you'll also be asked to choose which function you'd like to work in.)

Competency-based questions
These questions are designed to help us understand how you communicate with and influence others in a team - and your approach to getting things done. These questions are mandatory and must be completed. If you don’t complete these questions we won’t be able to accept your application.
Leadership
Tell us about any leadership experience you might have. This can take many different forms, such as club or society leadership, team leadership or work-related leadership.
