APPLICATION FORM GUIDANCE

• You will score higher, if you are able to refer to as many of the essential and desirable criteria as possible. A tip for doing this is to use the criteria as headings in your personal statement.
• Give strong examples – you can see how applications are scored at the bottom of the application form.
  Using the STAR method can help when evidencing competencies and giving examples:
  Situation: the situation you had to deal with
  Task: the task you were given to do
  Action: the action you took
  Result: what happened as a result of your action and what you learned from the experience.
• For your application to standout, spend time researching Liberty and the work we do  (our website is a great place to start). Draw meaningful connections with your own motivations, work experience and personal experience.
• Be concise, keep your answers clear and to the point and avoid long sentences. Bullet points can sometimes work well.
• Try to use the full word count (but do not exceed it).
• Ensure your application is proofread for errors and set out neatly.
• Present your application clearly and logically. Follow the Example Application Form for layout tips.

POSITIVE ACTION INTERVIEW SCHEME

Liberty are committed to pursuing a diverse and inclusive workforce and are trialling a Positive Action approach to our recruitment and selection process. Positive Action allows employers to take action to minimise disadvantages that groups with particular protected characteristics face in the workforce.

The Positive Action Interview Scheme will expand on our commitments as a Disability Confident Employer to offer an interview to an applicant who declares they have a disability and meets the minimum requirement.

Liberty’s Scheme is applicable to individuals who identify as either:

•  Disabled
• A member of the Global Majority (people from Black, Asian, Mixed, and other ethnic groups who often racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’)
• A member of the LGBTQ+ community

&

• Scores above the median score for the role

You can take part in the Positive Action Interview Scheme by selecting that you are a member of one of these communities on your application and agreeing to participate.

This means that if you complete your application, and have opted into the interview scheme and your application scores above the median score for that role, you will still be considered for an interview even if you were not in the pool of top scoring candidates that would otherwise go forward.

The information you share by participating in the scheme is not shared with Hiring Managers at the shortlisting stage, and details of the group(s) in which candidates identify will not be shared;however applicants are made aware that is it not possible to prevent those involved in the shortlisting process from being able to identify candidates who have been offered an interview specifically under the scheme.

If we receive over 25 applications for the role, we reserve the right to limit the number of interview spaces available to those who take part in the scheme.

The scheme will not affect how we shortlist for the original interview spaces which is based on the highest scores in the pool. The extra interview space offered as part of the Positive Action Interview Scheme will be in addition and so will not put any other applicant outside of the scheme at a disadvantage.
