We use Role Profiles, online Application Forms and Interviews to find the best person for the job. You'll need to provide evidence of how you meet the requirements of the post. This is through your skills, knowledge, qualifications and behaviours. You will have the opportunity to show this through your application and interview.

Role profile
For every council vacancy, there's a role profile. This gives an overview along with the skills, knowledge, qualifications and behavioural requirements.
Recruitment Panels use the Role Profile to shortlist candidates. They gather evidence of the applicant's overall competence.

All our application forms and interviews are behavioural based.
