Guidance for Applicants
Your Application Form will be used to decide whether you will be short listed and invited to an interview. Therefore please complete the form accurately and clearly. CVs are not accepted in place of a completed Application Form, but can be supplied to provide additional information.
The application pack should consist of the following:
• Cover Letter
• Job Specification
• Guidance Notes
• Application Form
• Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form
If you are missing any of the above please let us know.
The job specification sets out the knowledge, experience, skills and personal qualities that are required to do the job. When completing your application please demonstrate how you meet these requirements as this is the criteria we use to decide who we invite to an interview.
When completing your Application Form please consider the following:
• Please ensure that you complete your form legibly. You can submit a typed sheet instead of a handwritten one for the ‘General Comments’ section.
• The closing date for completed applications can be found on the cover letter. Only in exceptional circumstances will late applications be considered.
• Please make sure that you have completed the personal details section in full as these details will be used to contact you if you are successful in being short listed.
• Please complete the employment history section starting with your most recent employer first. Please continue on an additional sheet if necessary. Please mention and explain any lengthy gaps in employment. If you have worked abroad please include them in this section.
• Relate your skills and experience to the requirements as set out by the advert and job specification. You may wish to address each point in turn thus ensuring your supporting statement is clear and coherent. Please give examples if possible.
• If you have been out of work for a number of years you may have acquired relevant skills and experience from other areas such as community or voluntary work, school or college activities or running your home.
• If you are an internal candidate you still need to demonstrate how you meet the criteria. Please do not assume that you will be short listed because the recruitment team knows your skills and abilities.
• Please supply the names and addresses of two references. We do not take up references until we have made an offer of employment.
• Before signing your declaration please read through your completed form carefully, checking for errors or admissions. You must read and sign the declaration as any false information will disqualify you from appointment.
• Please complete the equal opportunities monitoring form – this will be removed by the HR team before short listing.
If you have any queries about completing your Application Form please do not hesitate to contact us, via email HR@thepensionstrust.org.uk or telephone 0113 234 5500.
