How to apply to the graduate scheme

No application stages are stated in the available role description. In a typical UK application, you may submit an application and CV, complete online or written questions, attend an initial interview and take part in further interviews or assessments. Treat these as possible stages rather than confirmed requirements for this employer.

Check the employer’s careers site and the current advert for the process, documents and assessment format. Make sure your application addresses the work described, particularly accurate checking, business acceptance, conflict work and client onboarding, and explain clearly why the Belfast role suits your skills and interests.
