APPLICATION PROCESS

Please submit your CV through our LinkedIn job posting.

A shortlist of potential candidates will then be called back for interview, where you will be asked a series of competency based questions and may be required to deliver a short (pre-prepared) presentation and field questions. Details will be provided prior to the interview.

If no further call backs are needed, then the successful candidate will be made an offer.
