Application for EmploymentDear Applicant,

The application form is the first part of our selection procedure and will largely determine whether you are invited to the next stage of our selection process.

KFRS undertakes a competency based selection process. We are looking for specific evidence/examples from the information you provide that demonstrates the qualities you have or may develop to enable you to carry out the requirements of the vacant role.

Please enclose copies of any relevant qualification and/or professional certificates to support your declaration. Offer of appointments may require you to provide copies of your General Certificates of Education or equivalent qualifications.

We are keen to ensure that our recruitment procedure operates in a way which gives genuine equality of opportunity and therefore would appreciate you completing the Employment Monitoring part of the application form. This information will be treated in the strictest of confidence and will not be seen by those who short list candidates.

Thank you for your time and interest in this appointment, if however you have not been contacted by us within four weeks of the closing date, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion. Good luck with your application.
