We're looking for the best-suited applicant for this role.  We'll assess your eligibility and ability to undertake the requirements of the role (including, where relevant, the way you've carried out previous positions). We consider your experience relevant to 'what you'll be doing', 'competencies' and 'what you will bring'. Assessment tools may include your written application, a work test
