Thank you for your interest in working for Sheffield & Rotherham Green Party.
Here is some general information for applicants for the post of:
Engagement Manager
Application
Please complete the application form. Separate CVs are not required and should not be sent, as they will not be considered. Please download the application form, save it, complete it and return it by email to helen.milner@sheffieldgreenparty.org.uk by the closing deadline.
Here are some hints and tips on how to put a good application together:
Every vacancy we advertise will have a role description (including a person specification), which will tell you all the details about the post. You should read all these documents before you begin to complete your application form.
We aim to treat every individual applicant for each post as fairly as we can.
We genuinely welcome applications from people from all kinds of backgrounds; so you should draw on all your relevant background when filling in your application form. You can write about voluntary work you have done, educational experiences and training schemes, experiences gained through your personal interests and domestic life, as well as any jobs that you have done. We only ask that you focus what you write, so that you convince us that you do have the skills we are looking for, no matter where you acquired them.
This outlines the duties and responsibilities involved in the role, together with the skills, knowledge and experience we are looking for.
You should be ready to show us how you meet each requirement. You should give examples to back up each statement. These examples can be from your current or previous work, voluntary work or personal life.
Try not to just say “I’ve got good communication skills and good teamwork skills, so I can do the job”. Where did you gain your skills? How do you put them to use? How often? As well as telling us what you have done, you can also tell us something about your views and how these might affect the way you approach your work.
Interviews will be held in Sheffield, probably on Wednesday 10th September during the day or early-evening. If shortlisted, you will be notified initially by phone (if possible), e-mail or text.
