We understand that AI can be a useful tool when completing your application. However, we are seeing an increasing over-reliance of AI tools, which can negatively affect your application as it reduces a candidate’s individuality, and makes it difficult for us to gain a clear and authentic understanding of your experience, skills, and in turn your suitability for the role. 

All submissions must be truthful and if you do use AI, it should only be used to enhance your application and not create your supporting statement in its entirety.

Your supporting statement should be in your own words and must accurately reflect your personal experience and achievements.
