Our Recruitment Process

Anonymised Applications

You will experience a fair application process that removes your name and contact details before applications are shortlisted. This means our hiring managers assess your application based only on your skills, experience and suitability for the role.

Transparent Interviews

For most roles, we will send you the interview questions in advance so you have time to prepare. We want you to feel confident and able to share the skills and experience that make you a good fit for the role.

Reasonable Adjustments

We want everyone to have the opportunity to perform at their best. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, please reach out to our Recruitment Team, who will work with you to provide the support you need. This includes candidates who require additional support due to disability, neurodiversity, or other needs included in our disability scheme.

Guaranteed Interview Scheme

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce. Through our Guaranteed Interview Scheme, applicants from groups that are currently underrepresented at Edinburgh College who meet all essential criteria for the role will be invited to interview.

The scheme currently applies to:

• People living with a disability
• People from minority ethnic backgrounds 
• UK Armed Forces (as described in the Armed Forces Covenant)
• Care-experienced people
