Thank you for applying for a job at the University of Manchester Students' Union.

To apply for this role, you have to complete an application form consisting of 4-6 questions based on the person specification for the role. Before completing the application form, you should read the role profile. Any criteria that has a tick in the application form column means that you'll be asked a question on that criteria. You can find this on the StaffSavvy portal for the role that you are applying for. There is no option to upload or submit a CV as we do not accept these.

Your application will be assessed by a panel of three shortlisters with each answer being scored from 0-5. You should answer the questions using the STAR technique as we are looking for evidence and examples of how you meet the criteria in the person specification. Once you begin your application, you'll receive an email with an 'applicant code'. You'll use this along with the email that you apply with to login to your applicant portal and view the status of your application. Please ensure that you input your email address correctly otherwise you will not receive notification of the result of your application/interview.

You should expect to hear back from us with a decision on your application no later than 7 working days after the deadline date.
