References

One of your referees must be your current employer, or if you are not in current employment, your most recent employer.

Where applicable, we require two employment references which are normally taken up after your interview. Please indicate on your application if you wish to be consulted before we do this. We do not accept references from family members (including in-laws).

Interviews and Outcome

The interview panel typically consists of two or three interviewers. If you have a disability which requires any reasonable adjustments to be made to help facilitate your attendance at an interview, please let us know.

We will notify you of the outcome of your interview as soon as we can, by phone, email or letter. If you are successful, a final decision is conditional upon receipt of satisfactory references, evidence of your right to work within the UK and any other applicable checks such as proof of any essential qualifications or medical references.
