How to apply for a job at Royal Greenwich 

We want to make it easy for you to find and apply for the right role. 

This guide explains how to search, apply, and manage your application through our Careers Hub. 

Step 1: Search for a job 

  • Use the search bar or filters to find roles that match your interests and skills.
  • You can save searches and create job alerts once you have an account. 

Step 2: Create your account 

To apply for a job, you’ll need to register on the Royal Greenwich Careers Hub. 

  • Go to our Careers Hub [link to portal]
  • Provide your name, email, and contact details
  • Create a username and password 

Once registered, you can log in to: 

  • Track your applications
  • Save your progress
  • Update your profile 

Step 3: Complete your profile 

You can save time by filling in your profile before applying. Information from your profile will automatically appear in relevant sections of any job application. 

Your profile includes: 

  • Education and qualifications
  • Employment history
  • Memberships of professional bodies
  • Your employment status (e.g. internal applicant, redeployee, agency staff) 

To update your employment status: 
 Go to Dashboard > Basic Details and update the Employment Status field. 

 

Step 4: Apply online 

When you find a job you want to apply for: 

  1. Click on the job title to view the details.
  2. Click ‘Apply for this job’ to begin your application.
  3. Fill in all sections of the application form.
  4. Review and submit your application. 

You’ll receive an automatic confirmation email when we receive your application. 

You can save and return to your application anytime before the closing date. 

Once submitted, you won’t be able to edit it—but you can still view or print a copy from your dashboard. 

Step 5: Submit a supporting statement 

Your supporting statement is the most important part of your application. 

Tell us: 

  • How your skills and experience match the role
  • Why you're interested in the job
  • Real examples using the STARR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result, Reflection) 

If you don’t have much work experience, use examples from volunteering, education, or personal projects.

Providing referees 

You’ll need to provide at least two referees: 

  • One must be your current or most recent employer
  • For gaps in employment, add personal or professional references 

For certain roles—especially those working with children or vulnerable adults—we request references before interview as part of our Safer Recruitment policy.
