You'll get a unique link to a private expression of interest advertisement.
Candidates will be able to apply online, and we'll collect and store your applications in Springboard.
Your panel members will be able to complete shortlisting and feedback online, and your panel chair will be able to create a selection report online and utilise the workflow within Springboard to get it endorsed and approved.
