To assist our recruitment activities, when required, we have engaged both the BPIF and a specialist recruitment agency. This ensures that we are operating to the latest legislation to provide access to meet the specialised requirements of any appointment to the company.
Key considerations for posts are:
- Any formal training or knowledge of the skills and abilities required for the position being advertised
- Evidence of NVQ or other degrees or accreditations
- Evidence of formal management training, degrees, certificates as appropriate, managerial posts held
- A practical test associated with the post
- Interview by a director and departmental manager
- We look for inclusive and collaborative traits in the applicant
- Local residency is often an advantage for us
- Skills and aptitudes beyond those required for the post e.g. First Aid, other community involvements as leaders
- In the case of trainees, we look to evidence of continuing education and involvement in other training programmes and for community involvements
- We look for an open approach to life and a collaborative temperament
References are taken up with previous employers/schools.
Posts are usually offered as Interim posts - generally for 3-6 months - to give both them and us an opportunity to 'see if their expectations and ours have a synergy'.
