The Recruitment Process

Follow our simple, six-step guide to applying for a role at Wesleyan and get some useful tips for submitting a successful application

01.

Update Your CV

Update your CV to highlight your relevant experience. Make sure to explain any gaps in your employment history.

02.

Submit Application

You must submit your application via our website. To maintain a consistent and fair process, we cannot consider applications sent via email or post.

03.

Pass Screening

If you meet the criteria, you’ll be invited to take part in the next stage of the process. This could involve a telephone interview, a face-to-face presentation, ability testing or other assessment relevant to the role. But don’t worry, we’ll explain what we expect from you in the invite so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare.

04.

Research

Get to know Wesleyan and research the role you’re applying for. We like stories that show your skills in action so prepare specific examples. Remember that you’re also interviewing us – feel free to ask us questions.

05.

Interview

You may need to go through multiple assessment stages during the recruitment process, so be patient. If your application is not successful, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

06.

Final Steps & Onboarding

If you’re successful, we’ll contact you to make a provisional verbal offer. Your written offer and contract will then be sent and before your start date, and we’ll complete the relevant pre-employment checks. Once everything is in place, we’ll make sure you have everything you need to get started.

Before you apply… A few important points:

Credit Checks and DBS

We’re a financial services organisation, so all regulated roles require you go through a credit check and DBS. If you’re unsure of your financial circumstances, check your credit rating online before applying. Anything you discuss with our Recruitment team or hiring manager will be strictly confidential.

Subject to Approvals

If you’re successful, we’ll start with a provisional verbal offer. For some roles, particularly those that are regulated, we may need approval from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and/or the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We’ll also carry out standard employment and credit reference checks as part of the process.

No applicant will be treated less favourably than another on the grounds of age, disability, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation
