This is how the recruitment process works

Application through selection questions

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.

Phone interview

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.
