How the recruitment process works

Start by submitting your application via the website, where you get to answer a number of questions about your education and experience. You can also fill in whether you have a B driving license and which areas you are interested in working in.
If you advance to the next step in the process, you will be asked to book an appointment for a phone interview. We will then call you at a time of your choosing on the phone number you have entered in your application. The interview takes about 15-20 minutes and it is good if you can sit undisturbed and make sure you have good coverage.
If you advance from the phone interview, you will have a link sent to you from refapp, which is a digital reference check. There you enter contact details for two references.
In the next step, you will get to meet a manager who will tell you more about the workplace and ask questions related to your education/experience. You also have the chance to ask questions related to the work.
You will then be called from an 010 number where you will receive a decision on your application.
