As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work for the people of Edinburgh, we want to ensure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility into your ways of working.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work, recognising the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
