How we review applications

Our recruitment team uses an AI-assisted tool (provided by OpenAI) to help summarise and organise the job-related parts of your application. It is not sent your name, contact details, date of birth, address, right-to-work or health information, or your equality monitoring answers. The AI only gives advice: people make every decision about your application. Unsuccessful applications are normally reviewed for deletion after 6 months. See our privacy information.

Please do not include details of convictions, cautions or other criminal record information in this application unless specifically requested through the correct process. Having a criminal record does not automatically prevent employment.
