When a position is advertised, there will be a contact name and contact details included in the job advertisement. Your application will need to be emailed to the contact person by the closing date.  If there are specific application requirements they will be listed in the job advertisement.

You may then be contacted by the manager and invited for an interview.

Your application will be assessed on its merits, qualifications and relevant experience for the role by the manager. If the manager is interested in your application you will be invited to a face to face interview with usually at least two people on the interview panel. This may involve the manager of the position and one other person (sometimes an employee from HR). The interview itself can take approximately 45 minutes, where a series of questions will be asked to assess your suitability for the role. You may be asked back for a second interview with different people on the panel.  The process can take up to four weeks, and this includes reference checking and offering the position to the successful candidate.

Look at our vision and values, read through the position description and have an understanding of what is happening at Baptcare. Read our Annual Report. This shows that you are interested and enthusiastic to be a part of our team.

Put your professional hat on – be on time for the interview, know where you are going for the interview, how you are going to get there and how long it will take you. Think about what you will wear (and what is appropriate).

Ask us questions – before the interview prepare some questions that you would like to ask us. It shows that you are interested and will be an enthusiastic member of the Baptcare team. It is important that you have a full understanding of Baptcare and the position requirements before you commence also.
