You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.
You will need to download a PDF of your application and email it to your Line Manager for their endorsement before you submit it. Instructions on this are noted in the application.

Once you have reviewed your application and had it endorsed, you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel.

When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you DO NOT receive a confirmation of submission email, you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.
Hint: also check the email hasn't landed in your spam or junk email folder.
You need to upload/submit attachments to support your application (CV, endorsement from line manager).
This is very simple but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
