personal information

Here you will be required to add your date of birth, contact details and addresses, plus other information about the personal considerations of your application.

Disability

There is a section on disability here; if you do have a disability, you can add information here regarding any specific arrangements that can be made to enable you to attend interview. In addition, you can also apply to have your application considered under the 'Guaranteed Interview Scheme' (GIS), provided your application meets the necessary criteria.

Who is eligible for the GIS?

To be considered eligible to apply under the GIS, you must have a disability or long term health condition that is expected to last for at last 12 months, and which puts you at a significant disadvantage in either obtaining and/or keeping jobs.

You do not have to be registered as a disabled person to apply under this scheme; if you are unsure as to whether or not you are eligible, you are advised to contact any deanery/UoA to which you are keen to apply, and liaise with their recruitment team in advance of making your application.

You can also add information to this section of the form regarding the specific arrangements that you require to enable you to attend interview.

For more information on this, please see the Equalities Act 2010, which can be viewed here.

Deferred start date

Below the disability fields is a section where you can request a deferred start date. As the form states, you should be aware that (as laid out in the Gold Guide) deferred start dates are permitted only on statutory grounds - ie for health reasons or maternity leave.

Less-Than-Full-Time (LTFT) training

Also in this section, you can indicate whether you wish to train on a less-than-full-time basis. This is just a 'Yes/No' field here, no further information is required at this stage.
