Recruitment process

Our recruitment process

We operate a consistent application process so whenever the process is different to this standard, we’ll make it clear within the vacancy details.

Recruitment process

Application

If you’ve taken the time to complete an application, we think it only fair that we let you know the outcome of that application as soon as we can. That’s why you’ll hear from us within 7 to 10 days of the closing date to let you know if your application has been successful or not.

Interview

If you’re invited to interview, we’ll contact you providing the details of the interview itself. This letter will provide all the details you’ll need, including where to go and who you’ll be meeting. It’ll also include some interview tips to help you get the best out of the experience. 

We’ll be back in touch within a week after the interview to inform you if you have been unsuccessful. At this time we’ll also be happy to provide you with some constructive feedback on your application and performance at interview.

Offer

If the interview was a success, the interviewing manager will call you within two days of the interview to discuss suitable start dates and terms and conditions with you.

Once these details are agreed you’ll receive your contract and starter pack from us within a week of your offer of employment. At this point you’ll also be invited to attend a number of our corporate induction days to welcome you to the business.

Employment

Before you start with us your manager will invite you along to a meeting so that we can check your right to work in the UK, this will require you to supply us with a number of documents. If your post requires a CRB check, your starter pack will also include a CRB application form which you should complete and bring along to the meeting. You’ll also be asked to produce proof of any qualifications that were listed as essential in the person specification.
