The closing date for submitting this form is 11.59pm on Thursday 11 September.
All the applications will be anonymised before they are shortlisted by a recruitment panel.
Step 2: The recruitment morning
The applicants who are shortlisted will be invited to a recruitment morning. You will find out whether you have been invited to this by 5pm Friday 12 September.
The recruitment event itself will take place on the afternoon of Thursday 18 September.
During this recruitment event you will find out more about the host organisations and the traineeships they are offering. You will also take part in some creative tasks that will give you a flavour of what the traineeships will involve.
We will contact everyone who took part in the recruitment event by Wednesday 24 September at the latest to let them know the outcome of the session. Please note that some of the placement providers may wish to carry out further interviews before offering the jobs.
If you have been offered a job, this will be provisional until we receive adequate references and process your pre-employment paperwork.
We hope that trainees will start in post from October.
