You have the option to upload your candidate statement as a separate document or you can write your candidate statement in the section below. Please choose the option that best work for you.

While we recognize AI can be a helpful tool for starting your application, and may help you by sparking an idea more easily than starting with a blank page, we really want you to show in your application who you are and how you think. AI will never replace the important human element at the application stage. Please make sure that you write your candidate statement yourself.

If the application page keeps spinning after the final step, it is often related to browser or device issues rather than the form itself. Please open the application form in a different browser, try a different device, use an Incognito/private window to rule out cache or cookie issues or clear browser cache and cookies, then reload the page.

If you require any support with your application, including reasonable adjustments to the format, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at recruitment@cas.org.uk or call 0131 550 1000. We are always happy to help.
