For every post advertised you must ensure that you complete a separate application form and provide us with a separate supporting statement.  You cannot use one application form to apply for more than one job.  The information you complete on your initial application, including your supporting statement, will however be saved for you to resubmit or amend to suit subsequent applications.

Once we receive your application online we will send you an email to confirm receipt.  Normally you should hear from us within six weeks if you have been shortlisted for interview, otherwise you should assume you have been unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, once you have submitted your application form online you cannot change your details.  If you need to change your details please use the contact telephone numbers as they appear on the site.

Your referees must be able to comment on your past employment and recent work performance in relation to the post’s selection criteria. 

We request that one of the nominated referees be your most recent, direct supervisor/line manager, or, if you have just completed full-time education, the Head/Principal or Tutor. Please do not include family members or friends. 

The University policy is to contact referees PRIOR to interview for all applicants SHORTLISTED for interview.

If you would prefer us not to contact your referees prior to interview, please ensure that you tick the box on the referees' section of the application form.

If you have not heard from University of Bath within six weeks of the closing date you should assume your application has been unsuccessful.

We would like to encourage you to apply online as the system is user-friendly and the application simple to complete.  However if you would like a paper application pack these are available from Human Resources please email jobs@bath.ac.uk if you are unable to submit an online application.

Please note the information sent to you will be exactly the same as the information on our website and you should allow at least four working days for the information to arrive with you.

Applications must be received by the closing date displayed on the job advert.
