Our Recruitment Approach

Recruitment to this post is being co-ordinated by London Councils – for further information and to make an application, please follow this link

All applications will be processed using an anonymised sifting method. This means that personal identifying details will be removed to ensure fair and unbiased shortlisting of applications.

The panel sees only the anonymised generated CV that Tribepad builds from the Education and Employment History sections of the application form.
 Uploading a personal CV is optional and only helps auto-populate these sections - it does not replace completing them.

Please ensure these sections are fully completed. If they’re left blank, key information won’t appear in the anonymised pack and fair review becomes harder.

Your full details and original CV are not shared with the panel until after the shortlist is agreed and you are invited to interview.
