Local candidates participate in the same process as national candidates but have the advantage of a guaranteed interview with Brent. As part of the application process, you are required to complete a Situational Judgment Test which is the only assessment you will need to complete at this stage. The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) presents you with 24 realistic scenarios that someone might experience in a role on the programme, along with multiple ways of responding. The SJT will appear after you have completed your application question, and you will need to complete the SJT before you can submit your application. Instructions for the test: This test is untimed, and it should be completed in one sitting. You will be taken to the assessment page after answering your application questions. You will need to organise each scenario into the order of response, depending on what you are most appropriate or least appropriate to do for each of the 24 questions.
There are detailed instructions within the form. If you have any questions or require support completing your application or situational judgement test, please do not hesitate to contact&nbsp;<a href="mailto:impact.support@local.gov.uk" target="_blank">impact.support@local.gov.uk</a>&nbsp;before starting your application or test.
