Entry Requirements

Applicants must submit all the required documents outlined below by the document submission deadline date published in the Key Dates section. An application is not complete, and cannot be considered, until all supporting documents are received.

All documents should be submitted in English. Documents in another language should be translated into English.

References:

• Two professional references using the reference form which can be downloaded directly from the application form
  • One referee should be the applicant’s current or most recent line manager/supervisor or Human Resources manager/representative. This person can not be a colleague. If you are self-employed i.e. you have your own company or provide consultancy services, a reference should be provided by a manager or Human Resources representative from the organisation where you currently, or most recently, have provided your services.
  • Where an applicant has worked/volunteered with children in the last 3 years, it is essential that a reference is obtained from that employer/organisation in addition to the current or most recent employer/organisation.

NOTE: References will not be accepted from relatives or friends.

Please ensure your referees know it is essential that the reference forms must be fully completed. Applications will not be considered unless two fully completed, appropriate references (as outlined above) are received by us, by the document submission deadline date. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that references are sought from the correct individuals, and are submitted fully completed, and on time. We will not follow up with referees or applicants if they do not complete the application process because references are incomplete or missing.
