- Why do I have to register to apply for a job?
Registration ensures that site users are aware of the Terms Of Use for the website and it also provides access to a personalised area of the website, 'My Applications', which enables you to more easily manage your application with the University.
My Applications
-
Submitted applications are automatically saved and are available for printing.
-
You can monitor the progress of your application.
-
Once you have submitted your first application, it becomes available to re-use as a basis for future applications, which means that you will not need to re-enter all of your information again.
All information is held securely and cannot be viewed by the University until you have submitted your application.
- Can you advise me on my suitability for a role and whether or not I should apply?
We are unable to give specific advice on the likelihood of your application being successful. All applications for our advertised posts are assessed against the published criteria for the role. Those who meet the criteria to the greatest extent will be selected for interview. As we are unable to pre-empt the quantity and quality of applications for the role in question, or how many of these will meet all essential criteria, the best advice we can give is that you review the job description and person specification in detail and assess to what extent you can evidence that you meet the requirements
- I am not a British/Irish national. Can I still apply for advertised posts at the University?
From 1 January 2021, all non-British and non-Irish nationals who do not already hold a UK immigration status will be required to obtain a visa in order to be able to work in the UK.
Applicants who require a visa to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications for roles eligible for sponsorship and where the required points are met.

- How do you protect my information?
In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations the information contained in your application is used to shortlist and select for each position you apply for.
