Guidance Notes for Applicants

 

Govan Housing Association is determined to ensure that it employs the best candidate for any position within the organisation.  The Application Form has been designed to ensure that the Recruitment Panel cannot tell the applicant’s Age, Gender, Ethnic Origin or if they have a Disability (except in any arrangements required to be undertaken by the Association to enable the applicant to attend an interview).   The first sheet identifying the applicant by name and the equal opportunities monitoring form are removed by the Association’s Admin Officer and the rest of the form given an identification number prior to it being copied to the Recruitment Panel. 

Similarly the Recruitment Panel will not see any additional information you append to the application form if it contains these details (e.g. References).

Please, however, feel free to append additional details of why you think you meet the Association’s requirements, leaving out details directly identifying Age, Gender or Ethnic Origins.  Finally, ensure that you securely attach any additional information to your application form.
