If shortlisted, you will be invited to a brief virtual interview lasting approximately 15-20 minutes to discuss your answers to the application questions. Successful virtual interviews will lead to an in-person interview, where you can meet the team, view the office, and learn about your potential role.
We are committed to inclusive recruitment. If invited for a face-to-face interview, we will share the interview themes in advance to help you prepare and feel comfortable discussing your skills and experiences.
