I have been invited to an interview but am feeling very nervous. Any tips?

1. Don’t panic! It’s understandable that nerves may kick in before your interview, so here are a few words of advice:
2. Feel free to bring in some notes in response to the interview questions provided to you and refer to them during the interview.
3. Give yourself time to prepare in advance so that you have plenty of example to provide during the interview that demonstrate how you meet the Person Specification.
4. Remember that interviews are a two-way process. They are as much about you learning more about the role and organisation and deciding if Safe Passage is a place you want to work, as they are about our friendly interview panels deciding fairly who is the most suitable candidate to deliver the role.
5. If your interview is over video, we would suggest you test your connection with a family member or friend beforehand and set up a comfortable place to do your interview. We completely understand that there are times when your Wi-Fi connections may not be the most reliable. If this is the case, please let HR know and we can try out best to offer you alternative arrangements

I don’t have the right to work, can I still apply?

As a small and young charity, we are not currently able to sponsor work visas. For this reason, we include on the Person Specification for each role that the applicant must already have the full legal right to work in the UK without restriction.
