Recruitment guidelines

You can submit your application by an electronic CV and covering letter. The short-listing decision is based solely on this information so use the tips below to help make your application as effective as possible:

• read the job description and person specification carefully to ensure the job is appropriate for you
• provide specific examples in your covering letter of what you have done and how you meet each requirement
• always be honest and factual as false information can result in disqualification
• do not send speculative CVs for paid employment (we do accept them for volunteering opportunities).

If you wish to submit a paper copy application please speak to a member of the Recruitment team by telephoning +44 (0)20 7942 5000.
