You will only be able to complete the assessments once. If you are invited to take online assessments, please make sure you have tried the practice assessments before completing the real thing. Please ensure you are in a quiet room with no distractions.
Should you be invited to undertake assessments, it is essential that you complete these within the given timescale. Following completion of online or in-person assessments, candidates should be informed of the outcome within two weeks via email.
Reasonable adjustments - During the assessment stage, you will be able to let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments. Please confirm to us what reasonable adjustments you require. An example of a reasonable adjustment would be extra time for the online assessments, information to be presented to you differently or for us to simply be aware of your needs. We may ask that you provide evidence for the reasonable adjustment required.

Interviews are used for all vacancies, assessment centres mainly for graduate vacancies only.
Should you be successful at the assessment stage (if applicable), you will be invited to attend an interview or an assessment centre. This may be in-person at our sites or interviews may also take place online on Microsoft teams.
