Our Hiring Process
- Stage 1
Review of Application
Your online application has been received and the hiring panel will review your anonymised application (this has been done automatically by the applicant tracking system) in due course.
We will always let you know if you are being moved to the next stage of the process, or if unfortunately we are not taking your application further at this time. Due to the very high number of applications received, we are unable to provide individual feedback at application stage, if you have not been successful.
If you require any reasonable adjustments to assist with the application process, please email recruitment@sfc.ac.uk

Panel Interview via Teams
If the hiring panel believe your application evidences the correct skills and experience for the role, we'll invite you for an interview.
Most interviews are held online.
We always provide a minimum of 7 days notice of interviews, as most roles will ask candidates to conduct a short presentation or task and respond to questions regarding their experience in a STAR format.
The recruitment process for most roles, will only involve 1 interview.
After the interview, within a few days, all candidates will be advised of the outcome and offered individual feedback.
