Candidates who pass the Assessment Centre will be offered a position using a ‘top-down’ approach. This means that if there are 25 posts available then they will be allocated to the 25 successful candidates who have achieved the highest marks at the Assessment Centre, taking in to account the number of pupillages and training contracts which are available.

Your performance at the Assessment Centre against the core competencies will determine whether or not you will be offered a post. Factors such as your university, the nature of your degree or your previous work history do not form part of the decision-making process.

Where possible, we will try to ensure that you are allocated to a department in which you have expressed a particular interest. However, because of the nature of the top-down approach we use to fill posts, it is possible that you may be allocated to another department.

We will aim to ensure that you are notified whether or not you have been successful by 30 September. If you are successful, then you will be invited along to the department making you an offer to discuss the terms of your training contract/pupillage in greater detail. All offers made are conditional on the successful completion of pre-appointment enquiries.
