How To Apply?

Step 1: Advertisement and key selection criteria

Vacancies have a unique position number or job reference that you need to quote in your application. The job details and position description outline the responsibilities and key selection criteria you should meet.

Step 2: Applications close

You must submit your application by the closing date shown in the advertisement. Applications can be submitted online. Go to current vacancies on this website, select the position, scroll down, fill in the form and apply. Online applications are acknowledged, via email, when received. We also accept applications in hard copy form, but would prefer to receive your application electronically. If you wish to apply via e-mail, fax or through the post, please contact the person listed in the advertisement.

Step 3: Assessment of applicants

The received applications are then assessed against the capability requirements and key selection criteria, then ranked and potential candidates are short-listed for interviews carried out by the manager and a selection panel. Questions are asked that evaluate the person given selection criteria. Behavioral interviewing techniques, ability tests, as well as written and oral tests or other assessments, may also be used in this part of the job application process. Referees may also be contacted after an interview. Selection is on the basis of merit.

Step 4: Job offer made

The panel prepares a selection report which outlines the process followed and makes a recommendation as to the most suitable applicant. This report needs to demonstrate that the selection process was fair and reasonable, and that selection was based on merit. The appointment is then authorized by a senior employee or delegate. Once salary and terms and conditions are negotiated, an agreed start date is decided upon. There is usually a period of probation to be undergone before the appointment is confirmed. Unsuccessful applicants are informed about the selection process outcomes after the successful applicant has been chosen.
