Complete the application form

Please read the job description and the person specification carefully. Consider the extent to which you meet the person specification, and illustrate this in your application's personal statement. You can include all relevant experience, including voluntary work.

We appreciate that if you are applying for a first post, you may have limited direct experience of some aspects of the work. This should not stop you from applying as long as you feel that overall you can show that you meet the criteria for the post.
