Application Process

We operate a fair and open anonymous selection process; therefore, we do not accept supporting statements or CVs. To proceed with your application, you need to create an account and submit your application. As part of the application process, you will need to complete a number of competency based questions that allow you to demonstrate your suitability for the role.

We understand the benefits of using AI in the workplace, however if you are considering using this tool to submit your application, we ask you to think about what value it will add. AI tools lack the personal touch and authenticity we value in candidates, so we encourage you to showcase your unique knowledge and skills using your own voice.

Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, as this group is currently under‑represented in our workforce.

If you would like support with applying for a job, the Council has a dedicated employment support service – Hackney Works – which offers guidance in relation to applying for jobs. Please contact [e-mail].
