We are looking for a team of online screeners to work with the Recruitment team from September 2020. Your role as an assessor will be key in selecting the best candidates to join Unlocked Graduates and make an impact as prison officers over the course of the two-year programme.

The selection process prior to assessment centre involves a Situational Judgement Test and a video interview.

Application screening

We are expecting to receive between 1000 and 1500 video interviews for our programme this recruitment season. Application screeners will be involved in assessing the video interview stage of the process, whilst taking into account the score from the Situational Judgement Test. We accept applications on a rolling basis so the amount of work will vary depending on the number and timing of when we receive applications. It is estimated that you will work for approximately three to five hours a week but please be aware that this may fluctuate.

You will need to:

-        Have the right to work in the UK for the duration of this role

-        Be prepared to screen several applications on a regular basis and have time available every couple of days to screen

-        Have the relevant equipment (laptop/desktop) to work remotely

-        Understand that the amount of work available may be inconsistent during the recruitment season – e.g. busy around application deadlines but quieter in the lead up to these

-        Respond quickly to requests and be clear with your communication with the Recruitment Director and/or Selection Officer

-        Be trustworthy and reliable, completing screening in a timely manner

-        Have sound judgement and the ability to be objective

-        Confidently make decisions on candidates’ strengths and weaknesses and how these correlate with our attributes

-        Be committed to the Unlocked vision and values
