For all enquiries we will require the following details:
You are advised not to apply without first requesting the further particulars of the job. Please note that all applications must be accompanied by an equal opportunities monitoring form.
It is important that you take note of the closing date which appears in every job advertisement. All applications must be received by 12pm noon on the closing date. Applications will not be accepted after this deadline. If you anticipate problems in returning your application by the closing date, please contact the Human Resources Department.
You will be contacted in writing within 4 weeks of the closing date if you have been shortlisted for interview. Unfortunately, due to the rising costs of recruitment and our wish to direct our funds towards the provision of high quality education, we are unable to write to unsuccessful candidates.
If you have any particular requirements should you be invited to interview, please make this clear in your application.
You will be required to nominate two referees in the appropriate section of the application form. Remember, if you wish us to contact you prior to contacting your first referee you must indicate this clearly in the space provided on the application form. In such circumstances we will automatically contact your second referee.
Your referees should be able to comment on your suitability for the post and should include your current or most recent employer.
The University will comply with the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996, and will require all employees to provide documentary evidence of their legal right to work in this country prior to commencing employment. For posts requiring a recognised degree level or equivalent qualification, and where there is no suitable UK or European Economic Area candidate, the University will take the necessary steps to secure Department for Education and Employment and Home Office permission for a foreign national to take up employment.
The University of Bedfordshire is an equal opportunity employer. The aim of the University's policy is to ensure that no job applicant or member of staff receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of sex, marital status, race, colour, nationality, or ethnic or national origins, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
Selection criteria and procedures are reviewed to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities. All members of staff will be given equal opportunity and, where appropriate, special training to progress within the University. The University is committed to ensuring that this policy remains fully effective.
The University recognises its responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act to protect disabled people from discrimination in the field of employment. As part of this protection the University is committed to making, where reasonable, adjustments to its employment arrangements, or its premises, if these place disabled people at a substantial disadvantage.
All the information and documentation you need to apply for our vacancies is available to download. Some documents are in Word and some in PDF format.
If you would like us to send you hard copies of the application documentation please phone, email or contact us via the online form.
