Eligibility
To apply for a non-legal role, you must show that you meet the eligibility requirements. These vary depending on the role and are provided on the vacancy page.
If you do not clearly show how you’re eligible, your application will not progress.
We may ask for eligibility information in two ways:
- for some roles, you only need to list your relevant experience or memberships
- for others, you’ll need to write an eligibility statement
If you’re asked to provide a statement, read the eligibility requirements carefully. Your statement must explain how you meet them.
At this stage, you do not need to complete a self-assessment.
Experience and qualifications
Non-legal tribunal roles cover a range of areas, such as agriculture, mental health, property and much more. This means the required experience and qualifications can vary greatly from one vacancy to another.
You will need to check the specific requirements for each post and take account of any specialism, qualifications and minimum period of experience required.
Good character
To apply for a non-legal tribunal role, you must be of ‘good character’. You should think carefully about whether anything in your past or present could affect your application.
You must declare all criminal convictions and cautions, even if they are spent.
You’re responsible for keeping this information up to date and must tell us about any changes until you are appointed.
For more information read the good character guidance.
Nominate an independent assessor
You will also need to nominate people to provide independent assessments about you.
It’s important that you ask people who know your work and will be able to explain how you meet the skills and abilities needed for the role. Find out more about nominating independent assessors.
