- Address the essential and desirable criteria that are assessed at the application stage in the person specification.
- Make sure every experience you write about is relevant to the role we are advertising
- Stick to the point! Don’t use more words than necessary!
Bias
We are committed to removing bias during our application process. As part of this commitment, we ask when you submit your CV and cover letter that you attempt to do the following:
Help us avoid bias based on age:
- Do not include dates next to any qualifications, this way our shortlisting panel can't identify your age
- Do not include your date of birth
Help us avoid bias based on gender/ethnicity:
- Do not include your email address on either document, this way the shortlisting panel will not know your name
- Do not include your name on either document
- Do not include gender/ethnicity identifiers
