Benefits of using the online application

- Ability for your information to be shared across locations – if appropriate (eg secretarial positions at Head Office and Sherwood Village).

- You will always be able to view your application so this would negate the need to take copies before sending off.
How to apply – Getting Started
Initially you will be asked to register on the secure site to create your personal account. To facilitate this you will be asked to complete some personal information and chose your own password which you must remember. This information will filter through to complete part of the application form.
As you proceed through each step of the application process your details are saved and you can make changes if you return to the form. Once it has been submitted you will only be able to update your personal contact information. Please note, the closing time for receipt of applications is 12 noon on the closing date displayed on the advert.
Use the free text boxes to give us as much relevant information about yourself or your key duties/achievements from each position you have held to enable us to effectively match your skills and experience with the requirements for the position for which you have applied.
I’ve submitted my online application – what happens next?
Once you have submitted your online application, you will receive an acknowlegement e-mail. All correspondence will be to the e-mail address you provide so you will need to check your account regularly. If you are invited for interview, all attempts will be made to contact you by phone in the first instance to check your availability.
If you wish to apply for more than one position, you can copy your application form and amend it as appropriate before submitting for other positions. If your details are held online we may contact you if other suitable opportunities arise.
