For each position advertised within the NCIs a full job profile is produced comprising a job description and person specification. We do ask people to complete an application form, for which we issue guidance notes, and do not accept Curriculum Vitaes as an alternative.

Please note that we usually accept applications no later than the closing date shown for each post. To ensure a speedier service, please do e-mail us on [email protected] expressing your interest in any of the advertised posts. We will try to e-mail all the relevant documents back to you; these will be in a Microsoft Word 97 format. Please do include your full postal address in the event that this is not possible.

In order to meet the deadline, you can either email or fax the form to us in the first instance on +44 (0)20 7898 1072. However, we will need the original signed copy sent to us in the post.

The National Church Institutions aim to be Equal Opportunity Employers. We will therefore invite you to complete an Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form which is attached to the guidance notes and should be returned with your completed application form. This information on this form is strictly confidential and will be used only to monitor the operation of the equal opportunities policy.

To apply for any of the posts please ensure that you have permission to work in the United Kingdom. We will need evidence of this from any one of the following documents:

• An official document showing your National Insurance Number � a P45, P60, a recent pay slip or National Insurance card for example (but this must not be a temporary NI coding).
