Essentials to consider when applying
Examine the duties detailed within the job description and the skills, experience and competencies required within the person specification carefully.
The person specification will have a list of essential and desirable levels of skill and competencies for the role. The essential criteria sets out the minimum requirements for an applicant to be shortlisted. If you do not demonstrate in your application how you fully meet the essential criteria you will not be shortlisted.
The desirable criteria sets out the levels of skill and competencies which will be possessed by a good applicant. If relevant it is important that you demonstrate how you meet any of the desirable criteria.
Once submitted to the University, all applications are assessed on the extent to which they meet both the essential and desirable requirements. The decision to shortlist applications is based only on the information you provide. You must include clear evidence of how you feel you meet the specific requirements of the job, as detailed in the job description and person specification. You can include this in the "Further information" section of the application form. Should you wish to, you can attach supporting statements and/or a copy of your CV.
In your application and if applicable at interview use examples of your previous experiences to demonstrate your competence, skills, knowledge and experience. Include any relevant experience you have gained from your current or any previous jobs, community, voluntary or leisure interests, or other experiences from your daily life.
The University is committed to interviewing applicants with a disability who meet all the minimum essential criteria for a job vacancy and will consider them on their abilities. This is indicated by the use of the two ticks disability symbol.

If you require an application form or any other documentation in an alternative format please contact us with your requirements.
Migrant Workers
If you are not a UK national, or from the European Community, you will need permission to work in the UK. A Certificate of Sponsorship will be required for applicants from outside the EEA.
An employer will not be able to get a Certificate of Sponsorship for an applicant if the post can be filled by a UK or EEA resident. It is therefore unlikely that an applicant from outside the EEA will be considered unless the post is classed as a shortage occupation or we have been unable to appoint someone from within the EEA. If you are made an offer of employment, we will need to apply for a Certificate of Sponsorship on your behalf and require you to provide all the relevant information and Documentation required in a timely manner.
Data Protection
Your application will only be shared with people involved in the recruitment process and will be held on file for 12 months.
Equal Opportunities
The policy of De Montfort University is that no person should be discriminated against by reason of their race, colour, ethnic or natural origin, nationality, religious belief, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, age, hours of work, disability or union membership/non membership. Please can you complete the enclosed equal opportunities form for monitoring purposes. If you have a disability we will make any necessary arrangements to ensure you are able to attend an interview if selected. Please let us know on the application forms any adjustments that are necessary to make this possible.
