As part of your application we'll ask you to complete a set of questions online, you'll need 10 - 20 minutes in a safe, quiet spot where you’re comfortable typing answers to a handful of questions about your interest and understanding of the Signaller role.

To apply for the signalling position you'll need to complete an application on our career's portal and upload the most recent version of your CV.

The signaller assessments include:

If you've not been successful you can request detailed feedback  to help you improve your application for next time.
