2. Your employment history detailing your responsibilities, skills, accomplishments, plus your qualifications and relevant training. Please copy this information into the box field provided.
3. Personal Statement up to 1000 words.
When giving details in your employment history and Personal Statement, you should highlight your experience in line with essential criteria listed in the Person Specification.
The sift panel will use the information in your employment history and Personal Statement to assess your experience, skills, and knowledge against the essential criteria above.
You will be provided with one combined overall assessment score for both your CV and Personal Statement.
* You will be asked to complete your employment history; any information that you would customarily share on a CV should therefore be entered onto the application form.

If your employment history/Personal Statement contains any personal details, your application will be withdrawn.

The Civil Service values honesty and integrity and expects all candidates to abide by these principles. Please ensure that all examples provided in your application are taken directly from your own experience and that you describe the examples in your own words. Applications will be screened and if evidence of plagiarism or copying examples/answers from other sources is found, your application will be withdrawn. Internal DWP candidates may also face disciplinary action.
Security Clearance Requirement
You must meet the security requirements before you can be appointed. The level of security needed is a security check.
For meaningful checks to be carried out, you will need to have lived in the UK for a sufficient period of time to enable appropriate checks to be carried out and produce a result which provides the required level of assurance. While a lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to a security clearance, an expectation of UK residency may range from 3 to 5 years. Failure to meet the residency requirements needed for the role may result in the withdrawal of provisional job offers.
