• Accessing Jobtrain - Users may experience issues if accessing Jobtrain via mobile phone, we recommend using a computer, laptop or tablet.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be helpful when planning or preparing your application but your responses must be written by you. Be authentic:
  Your application should genuinely reflect your own skills, experience, and motivations. Use AI appropriately:
  It’s fine to use AI for inspiration or to check spelling and grammar, but it shouldn’t write your answers for you. Why this matters:
  Applications that appear to rely on AI‑generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm that your answers are based on your personal knowledge and achievements. Tip:
  Think of AI as a support tool, not a replacement. We want to understand you, not an AI‑generated version of you.
• CVs - DO NOT upload a CV as this will not be used for shortlisting purposes.
• Assessment Form - Within the application you are required to answer three questions giving you the opportunity to fully evidence why you are the ideal person for the job. Please ensure these statements are written by yourself and are unique to you. This section times out after 30 minutes. A tip is to build your reply on a Word document and copy and paste into Jobtrain.
