Referees and supervisors
You must nominate one supervisor to support your application and two referees, one for each criterion.
Each supervisor or referee will be sent an automated email with the application including the response to criteria and attachments, including evidence, the position description and a payroll service letter.
The email will have a link to the scheme guidelines and a link to a form for your referee or supervisor to complete.
Once the form is complete and submitted both you and your scheme secretariat will receive a confirmation email.
