After the closing date for applications we will review your details and start making our shortlist. Everyone is assessed anonymously and we check to see who meets the essential and desirable criteria for the role so make sure you refer to the job criteria in your application.
If on this occasion you are not shortlisted for the role, we’ll contact you by email and you are welcome to call us and ask for further feedback which may help your application next time.
If you are shortlisted for a role, you’ll be invited for an interview. We’ll give you a call to let you know when the interview will be, but also look at the job description for the role as it might be detailed on there too.
Our interview process is a two-way process and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the job as well as being asked questions about the skills and experience you can bring to GC.
The selection process may include other activities such as an IT test, work based exercises or scenarios, or a micro-teach where relevant. Full details of the selection process will all be confirmed in an email to you so that you are fully prepared for the day.
One other thing - our selection process always includes an equality and diversity case study and a safeguarding scenario. This is a written exercise which helps us to ensure that all of our staff are committed to equality, diversity and safeguarding from the start of their employment.
