Additional Information
Using the essential and desirable criteria in the person specification as a guide, please give evidence under each point on how your skills, knowledge and experience meet the criteria for this post. You must demonstrate that you have used the required skills or gained the required experience to meet the criteria and give specific examples.

Please use the STAR approach when giving examples: Situation (i.e. where you demonstrated a skill or gained experience) Task (what your responsibilities were) Action (what you did) Result (what the outcome was). It is particularly important you make clear the role you played and how that led directly to the result achieved to evidence your points.

Applications will be scored out of a maximum of 5 points for each criterion, and points will not be awarded unless full evidence is given as above. Assertions (saying you have done something or have the skills without giving evidence and specific examples) will not score more than 1 point. Applications in which evidence does not meet the minimum score (1/5) on any one of the essential criteria will not be shortlisted for interview. Please leave the score column blank for short-listing.
