How to apply
All applicants must submit an application form as we do not accept CVs on their own. If you wish to provide a CV or any other supporting documentation with your application, or you have any enquiries about our vacancies, please email jobs@herts.ac.uk
Please remember that your application form is very important as it is the main basis on which the recruiting manager decides whether or not to invite you to interview, therefore it is vital that you complete it as fully as possible, filling in all the required information.
Please pay particular attention to the personal statement section, giving full reasons as to why you feel you are suitable for the post. State how your skills, previous experience, qualifications and training are relevant to the post and how you meet the criteria specified in the person specification.
Providing incorrect information or deliberately omitting any relevant facts on the application form could result in either disqualification from the selection process or - where the discovery is made after appointment - in dismissal. We may wish to check any details that you have given.
As an equal opportunities employer we aim to ensure that all applicants and employees are treated fairly.
