Application Questions

GSC operates an inclusive recruitment and selection process designed to enable the selection of the most suitable candidates from the widest possible range of applicants, based on individual merits and relevant abilities.

As a Science Centre, we are passionate about innovation and recognise the contribution that AI can make to job applications, however, we encourage you to tailor your application content using your own words and examples.

Your application will be assessed solely on the answers you provide to the application questions and any over reliance of AI software/tools may have a detrimental impact on your application.  AI detector software will be used to screen applications that are considered to be overly reliant.

Remember, while AI can assist your application, your unique knowledge, skills and experience along with personal motivations and values are what truly stand out in our process.

As part of your application, you will be asked to answer the following 3 questions. Please note that when completing the application form, you are unable to save and return so you may wish to prepare answers to these questions in advance. Answers have a limit of 1500 characters (approx 250 words). 

• Q1. Why are you interested in this role and what makes you the best candidate for the job?
   
• Q2. What aspects would you consider when developing science engagement materials?
   
• Q3. With a large pool of Visitor Experience Assistants, how would you support the quality and consistency of approach in delivery of science experiences?

Your application will be assessed solely on the answers you provide to the questions. Answers will not be reviewed in sequence and so references should not be made between questions. The selection panel will not see any CV's or personal details until after candidates have been selected for interview. This in accordance with our inclusive recruitment practice. More information on how we recruit is available on our website.
