BU will shortlist applicants for interview after the advert closing date.

We will be looking for evidence that you meet all of the essential criteria listed in the person specification and, ideally, some or all of the desirable criteria.

You will receive an email either inviting you to interview or advising you that you have not been shortlisted. If this is the case we hope this does not deter you from applying for roles in the future and we strongly encourage you to create job alerts to stay up to date with our current job vacancies. 

Interviews

Interview panels will usually include the line manager for the job and other stakeholders from within the university.

You may also be asked to undertake other selection activities, for example, presentations or computer-based tests. Details of these arrangements will be given in your invitation to interview email.

Appointment
