Clone of New style GCIL Job Application Form

GCIL Job Application
This form and accompanying information is available, on request, as a Word document and in large print.

The Personal Details section will be detached during the short-listing process, and the information will not be used for selecting applicants to interview.

We are trialling a new style of application form rather than CVs to make sure applications are accessible and fair for both applicants and our staff.

Introduction

Please note we are a Disabled People's Organisation; we welcome applications from disabled people. We would like to reassure you that we will consider all reasonable adjustment requests. The short questions below are designed to help all applicants decide whether this role is a good fit before you spend time completing the full application. There are no right or wrong answers.
Are you legally entitled to work in the UK? (Unfortunately we cannot sponsor visas)

Can you comfortably commute to the office where this role is based (please refer to the job advert)?

This role involves working closely with disabled people to support them to have more choice and control in their lives. This can include listening carefully, working through complex situations, and supporting people to navigate services and systems. Does this type of work feel like a good fit for you?

This role requires regular office based working, at least 3 days per week for full time posts (pro rata for part time roles). Office attendance is likely to be higher during induction. Core working hours are fixed at 10am to 4pm. Some flexibility is possible outside these hours where appropriate. Are you able to work within this pattern?

This role includes using digital systems and completing written records and reports as part of day to day work. Are you comfortable with this aspect of the role?

Alongside the standard information we need to gather, the main application form will take up to 30 minutes to complete with no more than 5 questions in total. Are you happy to proceed?
