*If you apply on the basis of six years experience we will ask you to send us a professional development plan immediately after you have joined. This is a basic plan including about five key points of learning activity that you would like to complete over the next year. It can include formal training, on the job training and personal development activity. A year after you join, we will contact you again and ask you to send in the record you have kept over the year about these learning activities.
