We know you will realise our need, as a respected and responsible employer, to make sure we employ people with high standards of integrity.
Your written application is our only basis for shortlisting for interview, so it is important that you complete it in a way that does you full justice. You should answer all the questions and give us your full employment history.

The following suggestions will help you to do this.
- PERSON SPECIFICATIONS - This is included with your application form. Please read it carefully, giving careful consideration to each criterion when answering question 5 on your application form and number your responses to coincide with those listed on the specification. C.V.'s will not be accepted. Remember that not only your work experience is relevant; consider other experience you may have gained which will enable you to fulfil the criteria.
- QUALIFICATIONS/TRAINING - Include here only information on courses and qualifications that are relevant to the post.
- EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES - In responding to this question, applicants are asked to have particular regard to implementation of equality of opportunity in practice and day-to-day work.
- CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS - All successful applicants are asked to complete a disclosure application form, which is sent to the Criminal Records Bureau. The work of LCH involves responsibility both for a vulnerable client group and significant amounts of public money. People with convictions will not necessarily be excluded from working with the organisation but will be questioned prior to appointment where a conviction is deemed relevant to the duties of the post. Please complete the appropriate section of the form. If no convictions, please enter ‘None'. The information you provide will be treated strictly confidential and be used only in relation to the appointment for which you are applying.
- REFERENCES - Please give the names and addresses of two referees. One should be your present employer or your most recent employer if you are currently unemployed. Both referees should have been in a position of responsibility within the employing organisation(s) senior to you. Please ensure that reference addresses are registered offices. Due to the nature of our work ALL referee addresses are checked with Companies House. Referees must not be related to you, or a friend. If a school/college leaver please give details of head teacher/tutor.
- GENERAL POINTS - Your application form should be completed in a well organised, clearly legible and concise way as this makes for easier reading and understanding, paying particular attention to clarity in responding to Question 5, as mentioned above. It should be completed in black ink as this helps us if we need to photocopy it.

Regrettably there are rare occasions where people give us false information, to try to secure employment. As a result, we thoroughly check the information provided by applicants through references, asking to see evidence of qualifications, etc.
When information provided throws up questions or concerns that remain unresolved, we will not proceed with an application and we may contact the police if we suspect fraud. For this reason, we strongly advise against providing false information when applying. Equally, we would ask for your patience and understanding during the application process.
