The next stage may be an offer of an interview. Take with you any evidence you may need such as certificates which prove your qualifications, dress smartly and arrive early.

Some settings may also choose to ask you to complete a working trial, this is where you will be asked to work for a short period of time in one of the rooms with the children and practitioners. After the interview stage is completed, management will be in contact at some point to accept or decline your job application.
