Frequently asked questions

The recruitment process

How do I apply for a role?

What documents do I need to submit?

Please upload an up-to-date CV in Word or PDF format in a clear format. It is optional to submit a covering letter, which can be uploaded with your CV.

Do you accept speculative CVs?

We do not accept speculative CVs. All applications must be made via our careers page.

Do I need the right to work in the UK to apply?

Yes. All applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK at the time of applying. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visas or offer work permits for roles at this time.

Can I apply for more than one role?

Yes. Once you have created an account you will be able to populate any new application forms with the information provided on your previous application.

The shortlist process

Will you communicate to me if I have been shortlisted or not shortlisted?

Absolutely! We will communicate with all candidates to let them know the status of their application. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are unable to provide feedback at application stage. All communication will come via teamtalent@brightonandhovealbion.com

When will I hear back after I have submitted my application?

The Talent team will be in touch following the vacancy’s closing date. If there are any delays with the shortlisting process, we’ll keep you informed.

Who will review my application?

The hiring panel will review every application that has been submitted. They will take time to carefully consider every submission to ensure a fair process.

The interview process

What will the interview process look like?

Interview processes may vary depending on the role. For example, if you are being interviewed to be a coach, you can expect an on-pitch practical interview and a formal sit-down interview. Some roles may involve one interview round, whilst others may require more. The Talent team will outline the specific process in your interview invite.

How should I prepare for my interview?

For all core roles, you’ll be scheduled for a call with the Talent team to discuss the position and life at BHAFC. This informal conversation is designed to help you feel prepared and confident ahead of your interview. We recommend reading through all supporting documents that the Talent team will share with you alongside doing a little homework on the club.

The onboarding process

What happens after an offer of employment?

The Talent team will undergo your pre-employment checks, which includes 3 years of employment history (we will reference any gaps of employment / education and travel history), a DBS check (if applicable to role), Right to Work check and qualification check (if applicable to role). To ensure a safe and compliant recruitment process, we won’t confirm your start date until all pre-employment checks have been successfully completed.

What happens when my pre-employment checks are completed?

A member of the Talent Acquisition team will be in touch to confirm a start date with you and confirm your first day details.
