Before you apply

The official Advert Details set out the exact qualifications and duties for this post. We have not listed them here because they are not included in the advert summary, and you should not guess them. Check them on the PSC portal before applying.

PSC usually asks shortlisted candidates to present original documents and clearance certificates, so it is worth starting on those early (see the checklist below). PSC does not charge any fee to apply, be shortlisted, be interviewed or be appointed. Anyone asking you for money for this job is a fraudster.
