REFERENCES

​

Your first referee should be your current or most recent employer if you are in work and the other should be from a previous employer/school/college. If you have not worked for some time or have never worked, use referees who can comment on your ability to do the job, for example a teacher, course tutor or charity organiser.

​

Make sure you provide accurate contact details for your referees and let them know that a reference request is being sent to them. This often speeds up the process and avoids unnecessary delays to you starting your job. Please do not use family members or friends as referees.
