Tips on completing application forms

Completing your application form is an essential part of applying for a job at Broadacres. The way you complete it can affect whether or not you are successful in getting an interview.

We use the same application form for all applicants, including staff who are currently employed, and will ask you to complete a form for each post that you are interested in applying for.

We do not accept CV’s in place of application forms so please ensure that you fully complete the form.

All the information needed to complete the application form is given in the Current Vacancies section next to the post.

Making your application form work for you?

Do

  1. Read through all the information that is included in the job pack, paying particular attention to the Job Description and Person Specification.
  2. Make sure that you complete the application form as fully as possible so that we have as much information  to short list from.
  3. You need to tell us how you meet the criteria within the Person Specification; use examples of where you have done this in the past so that we can identify that you have the skills required for the post.
  4. Ensure that your completed application is returned by the closing date.

Don’t

Do not just send a CV in replace of the application from as we need to see how you demonstrate the Person Specification criteria. If you do not tell us then we can not assume.

Submitting your application form

  1. Complete it on line and submit it to jobs@broadacres.org.uk
  2. Print it out and send a copy back to the address given in the application process section
