Searching for a job
If you are interested in finding a job, please use the search facility on the homepage.  You can search for all jobs or limit the search to match your requirements. If you are looking for information about a specific job then try the advanced search facility.
Most vacancies can be applied for on-line, but for some vacancies you will need to contact the relevant organisation for an application pack, details will be in the advert.

Registration
To apply on-line you will need to register with us.  We will ask you for your name, address and your email address.  Please use the email address where you would like us to contact you.  You will also need to choose a user name (we suggest your full name) and a password - keep a note of these.  As soon as you have submitted these details you will be logged in and have access to your personal homepage.  Here you will be able to add information about your Education and Training, Employment History and Membership of any Professional Bodies.  You will be able to access your homepage at any time if you wish to add or amend this information.  If you decide to apply for a job on-line this information will automatically pre-populate the relevant sections of your application form, saving you the time and trouble of re-entering the information each time.  If you forget your password you can use the 'forgotten password' button and we will email you a reminder.

On-line Applications 
Where available, applications can be submitted using the on-line application form. When you have registered you will have access to the on-line application form. The form has been designed so that it can be saved, to allow you to review it or add more information as you wish. Once you have completed your application you can submit it, or save it to submit at a later date. Please check your application thoroughly before submitting, to ensure that all relevant fields are completed and that the information you have supplied is accurate. Once your application has been submitted you cannot alter or amend it. You will, however, be able to view it, or print a copy through your homepage on the website.

Off-line Applications
For many vacancies, if you would prefer to complete an off-line application, you will be able to download a Word version of the document from the relevant page of the vacancy that you wish to apply for. Alternatively, please call the Recruitment department on 01392 383034 or 01392 383043 or email us and ask for an application pack
