• An interview, designed to talk through your skills and experiences both academically and relating to you as an individual.
• Aptitude tests, covering spelling/grammar, numerical awareness and decision making.

All offers of employment will be subject to satisfactory references, security clearance, identity check, criminal record check, credit check, proof of qualifications and immigration clearance where appropriate. You will also be asked to complete a medical questionnaire.
