We’ll let you know if we’d like to interview you 

If your application shows you may be right for the job, we’ll ask to interview you. Interviews are a great opportunity to learn more about each other. After the interview, we’ll let you know what to expect next and when you’ll hear from us. 

If you’re a top choice, we’ll check referees and have a second interview 

If you’re one of our top choices, we’ll contact two of your referees and run a standard police check. One of your referees must be a current employer. We’ll have a second, informal interview, which might involve you giving a presentation and meeting the team.  

We’ll call you if you’ve got the job 

If you’re the one, we’ll call you to give you the good news.
