How to prepare
- Match the specific agency. A hospital role, a school role and a foundation programme role ask for very different things. Tailor your CV to the one you are applying for.
- Have your registrations ready. Clinical roles need current professional registration, and teaching roles often ask for teaching qualifications.
- Show your values. AKDN agencies work on long-term development and quality of life. Show how your work has improved things for the people you served.
- Check the closing date and the location on the official advert before applying.
