We will endeavour to respond to all applications within a week of the closing date. Where we receive high numbers of applicants this may not always be possible, so if you do not hear from us within four weeks of the closing date please assume that on this occasion your application has been unsuccessful.

Where we also receive high numbers of applications we reserve the right to bring forward the closing date of the application, so please apply early if you are interested in a role. UK Athletics has a formal process for recruitment and selection in order to ensure all candidates are treated without undue bias.

All staff involved in the interviewing process are first trained by Human Resources in the Equality Act, other essential employment law and best practice in interviewing and selection. Depending on the nature of the role you may be asked to prepare a presentation for the interview or to complete an unseen task on the day.
