Next Steps

Applicants who are shortlisted will be contacted by a recruiter and a screening call will be held. This is an informal call where you will discuss your experience and the role in further detail to identify if you are potentially suitable for the role.

Following a screening call, if you are deemed suitable, the next and final stage would be an interview with the area manager. Further details will be provided should you make it to this stage.
