How to apply – LTHT

Your application for the role should be made up of 4 documents:

• 1. A complete CV
• 2. A covering letter, explaining your interest in and motivation to apply for the role and briefly what you feel you will bring to it. Please include details of:
• any connections or relationships you may have with employees, or their families at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust.
• if there are any dates when you would be unavailable for interview.
• outline of your current salary package.
• the names, positions, organisations, email address and phone numbers of two individuals who could be approached as referees, one of which should be from your existing/last employer (see referees note below).
• 3. A supporting statement. This is a response to the 8 Qualifications and Experience Requirements in the Person Specification. Note To access the Role Description and Person Specification (if you have not already done so) please go to the role’s web page and then to the bottom of the page. Here, fill out your contact details, click submit and a PDF will be visible. It might be worth saving the PDF for future use to save you time filling out your details again.
• 4. A completed Equal Opportunities Form
  (Depending on your internet browser you may need to “save link as” to save file and then be able to view this Word document). We use the information to help us in assessing the effectiveness of our Equal Opportunities Policy.

Writing a supporting statement

In responding to the required Qualifications and Experience criteria items, you should consider your own experience and suitability for the role. Take each criteria item individually and then provide your evidence against each one. For each item outline the role in which you have shown the necessary experience and how you have demonstrated this (the skills and behaviours you have displayed). You only need one good example for each item, describing the challenge or issue you faced, what you did and the outcome achieved. Outcomes should be concrete, clearly quantified or evidenced and relevant to the job.

You should aim to use no more than one third or half a page for each item response to the criteria; bullet points are OK. Please do not get fixated on the length of the application but try to avoid being over long.

Referees

We will only approach referees if you are invited to attend the final stages of the process, and will only do so having first requested your permission.

Applications should be emailed to Elaine Smith via pv@proventureconsulting.co.uk with the job number and title in the subject field:
