How to apply:

We use a recruitment platform called Be Applied. This promotes fairness, inclusivity and diversity. With anonymised applications and predictive, skill-based assessments, the system aims to address bias and provide a positive and efficient recruitment process. You can find more details on their website beapplied.com.

After you apply, answers go through our sift process: all are anonymised, randomised and then reviewed by a panel of reviewers. Your CV does not form part of the sift process and you should therefore take the time to answer the specific questions fully and where appropriate with your relevant evidence.

The platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application.  We will not see individual responses to these questions. Only summary statistics are provided to help us ensure our candidate pool is balanced and if everyone has an equal chance to get hired irrespective of their background. If you prefer, you can easily opt out of answering these questions.

Closing date to apply: Sunday 8th March 2026

Interviews will be held: w/c 16th March
