Application and Selection Process

The selection process involves several stages.

1. Initial application

You will provide background information, answer diversity-monitoring questions and indicate your preferences for the available Fast Stream schemes. You may select up to three schemes.

Register using a personal email address rather than a work or university email address.

2. Online assessments

Candidates will complete two online tests:

• Work-based scenarios: Assesses interpersonal skills and your ability to evaluate responses to workplace situations.
• Case study assessment: Tests your ability to understand a fictional work environment, respond to challenges and adapt to changing circumstances.

3. Additional assessments

Depending on the schemes selected, you may need to provide additional information or complete an intermediate selection stage.

4. Fast Stream Assessment Centre

Candidates who pass the earlier stages may be invited to a half-day virtual assessment centre. Activities include a written exercise, an oral briefing exercise and a personal development conversation.

Most schemes require a final selection board for candidates who achieve the required standard at the assessment centre.

Reasonable adjustments are available to support eligible candidates throughout the recruitment process.

Security Checks

Successful candidates must undergo the required pre-employment checks.

The recruitment team aims to put successful applicants through Security Check (SC) clearance. However, candidates who are not eligible for SC clearance are encouraged not to be deterred from applying, as some roles require only Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks.

A basic or equivalent criminal record check is also required.

Closing Date

The deadline to apply is Thursday, 5 November 2026, at 12 noon.

Applicants are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements and prepare for the assessment stages before submitting their applications.
