Short-listing and interviews
All applications/CVs will be anonymised by an independent administrator before being passed on to a selection panel. This includes removing all indicators of gender, race, age, class, disability, sex etc. The process for short-listing candidates will be as follows:
- CV's will not be part of the selection process. They will only be used to ensure candidates meet the eligibility criteria.
- Only the answers to the questions on the application form will be assessed by the selection panel and be used to shortlist candidates for interview.
- A separate selection panel will review the answers to the remaining questions and assess them against defined application criteria to create the short-list.
Candidates will be notified by Friday 26 January 2024 if they have been successful in reaching the interview stage.
Interviews will be held between 7 February and 16 February 2024.
