Helpful hints and tips

Essentials to consider when applying

Job descriptions and person specifications
Examine the role content and duties detailed within the job description (JD) and the skills, experience and competencies detailed within the person specification (PS) carefully.

The PS will have a list of criteria. These are the essential minimum levels of skill, knowledge and experience required for the job. The desirable list contains skills and knowledge that good candidates for the job would ideally posess, but these are not essential. Your application will benefit from demonstration of how you meet any of the desirable criteria. If listed, the competencies refer to the behaviours that are important in order to perform well in the role in question.

Once submitted to the University, all applications are assessed to see if they meet these requirements.
