How to apply

If you find a position you’d like to apply for, click the Apply Online button. If you haven’t applied for a position here before, you’ll need to follow the instructions to register and set up an account with us (Why do I have to register?). Please choose an email address you use regularly, so we can easily contact you about your application.

We prefer receiving applications online, but if you are having difficulty submitting your application or require any assistance (for example, if you have a disability) please email jobs@bath.ac.uk. If you are a student applying for work experience, please email workexperience@bath.ac.uk 

All applications must be submitted before 00:00 UK time on the closing date.

Application Form

Our application form helps ensure the information you give us is provided in a consistent format, which enables us compare applications fairly. We review all applications anonymously to remove any bias.

As part of the application process, you'll be asked to answer some questions relating to your experience. This is a great opportunity to share examples of any achievements you have which support the criteria in the person specification.

You can complete the form in stages and can login/logout at any time. Your application will automatically save as you enter your information and it’s easy to move backwards and forwards within the form. You’ll be able to review and make changes to your application until you're ready to submit it.

After Applying

Once you’ve submitted your application, the status in My Applications will change to ‘submitted’, alongside the date you applied. We’ll send you an email the next day confirming we’ve received your application.

After Closing Date

We assign a selection panel for each position we advertise. The panel will assess all applications anonymously at the initial shortlisting stage to ensure they are reviewed fairly and free from bias. Applications will be reviewed against the requirements set out in the job description and person specification. 

One of our team will contact you to let you know if you’ve been successful in getting through to the next stage.
