AI and your application

We're aware that many candidates these days are using AI language models to help them with their job applications. Whilst we understand the use of this kind of technology to assist with applications, it's worth noting that answers copied directly from AI tend to come across very generic and detract from the quality of applications. To give yourself the best chance of letting yourself shine in your application, we strongly recommend personalising your answers based on your own skills and experience.

If you are unable to meet this and any associated criteria, then your employment may be delayed, or rejected . Details of this will be discussed with you at interview
