Qualifications

What is the application process?

Step 1 - Application

Apply online by sending your CV with a brief overview of your experience

Step 2 - Digital Video Interview

Impress us with your application, and we'll invite you to take part in a Digital Video interview using the HireVue tool.

During this we'll take you through a series of questions that are designed to see if you've got the skills and attitude that you'll need for the role.

You may not have this kind of work experience, so try to think of examples from different areas of your life that demonstrate the skills we're looking for.

Perhaps you've had a leadership position on a sports team or society, or have been involved with technology at school.

Step 3 - Assessment Centre

Do well in your Video interview and you'll be asked along to an assessment centre where you'll meet various different people and take part in a range of activities (such as a group exercise) to see your skills in action.

If it looks like we're a good match after the assessment centre, we'll invite you to join the scheme.

We look forward to hearing from you.
