The "It's a Job Worth Doing" campaign is live until April 14. The first stage of the selection process involves a series of online tests, which should be taken via laptop or PC, until the deadline date.

Candidates will receive further details of the selection process pending the success of their online tests. Applicants should also consider the eligibility factors laid out for the role on the job description.

These include being over 18 but under 35 years of age by midnight on April 14. Candidates must also complete a physical competence test and have their health certified by a registered medical practitioner.
