At this point, if we think we have a suitable role for you, we will invite you to an assessment day. This will involve a variety of group activities and an individual interview.
If you are successful, we will allocate an advisor to help you find the right role. When matching you with a role, we'll try to accommodate any personal preferences you may have.
Once we have found a role you are satisfied with, we'll give you training before your departure and also after you've arrived in the country where you'll be working in.
