APPLICATION FORM

FUNDRAISING MANAGER

CLOSING DATE

MONDAY 25 SEPTEMBER AT 12NOON

Guidance notes on completing your application form

Please complete the application form provided, to ensure an equitable recruitment process. CVs in lieu of the application form cannot be accepted.

The application form is designed to ensure that applicants provide the necessary information to determine how they meet the requirements of the role and the shortlisting criteria.

You should ensure that ALL sections of the application form are completed.

You should ensure that you provide evidence of your relevant experience in your application form, giving length of experience, examples and dates as required.

It is not sufficient to simply state that you possess the criteria, this must be fully demonstrated in your responses outlining your experience and qualifications.

We will not make assumptions from the title of the applicant’s post or the nature of the organisation as to the skills and experience gained.

Write down clearly your personal involvement in any experience you quote. Write “I” statements e.g. I planned meetings, I managed a budget, I prepared a presentation. It is how you actually carried out a piece of work that the panel will be interested in.

The examples you provide should be concise and relevant to the criteria. This is very important as the examples which you provide may be checked out at interview and you may need to be prepared to talk about these in detail if you are invited to interview. It is your unique role the panel are interested in, not that of your team or division.

If you do not provide sufficient detail, including the appropriate dates needed to meet the eligibility criteria, the selection panel will reject your application.

ONLY the details provided by you in your application form (the employment history and eligibility criteria) will be provided to the selection panel for the purpose of determining your eligibility for the post.
