To apply for a job with us, you must complete an application form. You can download an application pack for each advertised job, which includes the following documents:
Document | Description |
---|---|
Job description | This tells you the purpose and main tasks of the job. |
Employee specification | This tells you about the skills and experience you need to do the job. This can include qualifications, experience or skills which you must have to be able to apply (essential criteria). If you do not have the essential criteria for the job you will not be invited to the next stage of the process. There may also be some additional shortlisting or desirable criteria, which can be applied if a large number of applications are received. This is not applied in all cases, so still apply for a job if you have the essential criteria, but not the shortlisting or desirable criteria. |
Terms and conditions | This tells you about the terms of application, including the recruitment process and timeframe. It also contains the main conditions of employment, including the pay, location and other information about the job and benefits of working for the council. It is important to check that you are eligible to apply for the post as some jobs are internal opportunities open only to Belfast City Council employees. |
Application form | We use the information you provide in your application form to decide if you meet the essential criteria and, if necessary, the short-listing or desirable criteria for the job. It is therefore important that you use the application form to tell us how you meet the criteria for the job (as detailed in the employee specification). |
Please complete the application form in Word format (Arial font size 11), which you can email to us when complete. If you are completing your application form in hand-written format, please make sure your writing is legible and use black ink.
The essential criteria, that is, the qualifications and experience requirements, will be different for each recruitment exercise so ensure that you complete the application form which has been specifically tailored for the job you are applying for.
You cannot send CVs or attach additional sheets to your application form. These will not be considered by the recruitment panel. Continuation sheets must not be used. Please use the boxes provided. Please do not delete or alter the format of the form.
Please make sure all questions are fully answered before returning your application form as we cannot accept any additional or supplementary information after the closing date for receipt of application forms.
