To ensure everyone gets a fair chance, we ask everyone to complete an application form so we can review all applications based on the same criteria aligned with the job description and person specification. It helps us reduce bias and allows for a fair scoring process. We cannot accept a CV instead of a completed application form because we follow a safer recruitment policy and require additional information from applicants.
Our application process consists of several sections. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you complete each part:
1. Personal Details: Provide your basic information, such as your name, contact details, and address.
2. Qualifications: List your educational background and any relevant qualifications.
3. Training: Detail any training courses or certifications you have completed.
4. Employment History: Outline your previous jobs, including job titles, responsibilities, and dates of employment.
5. Questions Based on Person Specification: This is your chance to shine! Here’s how to effectively respond to these questions:
• Refer to the Job Description and Person Specification: Make sure to address each requirement with reference to your relevant skills and experience.
• Provide Specific Examples: Give concrete examples of how you have demonstrated the skills and qualities needed for the role. Think about situations where you have successfully used these skills in the past.
• Highlight Key Achievements: Focus on your most significant accomplishments and how they are relevant to the position you are applying for.
• Be Clear and Concise: Write clearly and stick to the point, ensuring your answers are easy to read and understand.
6. Declarations: Complete any required declarations honestly and accurately.
By following these instructions, you will be able to create a strong and effective application that highlights why you are a great fit for Family Action. We look forward to learning more about you and potentially welcoming you to our team!
