All current vacancies are listed on our Vacancies Page: Job search. To apply, simply select the “Apply Online” button and you will be able to work through an online application via our online Applicant Tracking System (ATS).​

Please be aware that applications will only be considered from individual applicants on our standard application form, and not via CV alone or agencies.

If you are interested in more than one vacancy at the Trust, you will need to submit individual applications.  However, once you have completed the online application form for the first time, if/when you apply for other roles, content saved in the original application pre-populates fields in the new application form.

We would recommend that you review and update information when submitting additional applications, particularly in relation to questions around the person specification.​

Typically, we simply require you to complete the online application form. Occasionally, specific roles may have additional requirements, which will be outlined in the job posting.​

Vacancies are usually open for two-weeks.  However, application deadlines do vary by position. Each job posting will specify its closing date. Please ensure your application is submitted before the stated deadline. Once the closing date has passed you cannot submit an application – even if you are part-way through it.​

After submission, the recruiting manager (and shortlisting panel) will review your application. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews, usually via email.

Once submitted, applications cannot be edited. If you need to make significant changes, consider withdrawing your application and submitting a new one before the deadline.​
