    Out of pocket expenses (such as travel and food) are paid for by prior arrangement.

     

    After you have said you’re interested in doing this, we’ll send an application form.  This needs to be returned by the end of July.  Then when you’ve done this we will phone you for an informal chat.  CRB checks will also need to be done, but we’ll help you with this.
