Part Two: Application Form
Part Three: Self-Description Questionnaire

Application Form

To successfully complete the online application form, you will need to provide the following information:

Self-Description Questionnaire

You will not need any specific information to complete the self description questionnaire. You will be asked to choose among three alternative answers for each of the 50 questions. Please allow approximately 20 minutes to complete this questionnaire.


Once you have submitted your completed on-line application and self-description questionnaire, your application will be screened against our selection criteria. On submission, you should immediately receive a response message to confirm successful receipt of your application. If you do not receive this, you need to re-submit your application. Upon receiving the confirmation message, you will not need to make any other enquiry to check that your application has been received. Only successful applicants will be contacted by email to be advised of the next phase of the recruitment process. Short- listed applicants will go forward to a standard testing and assessment process, which will include briefings from line managers to determine your career stream.


The application form and self-description questionnaire are managed by a third party company, and by connecting to these pages, you are transferring to their website. However, in using and providing the information required on these pages, the host of the site will ensure that data privacy is safeguarded.
