Should you identify as a candidate with a disability and/or as a veteran or spouse/partner of military personnel and meet all the essential criteria for the role, we encourage you to reach out to us via the Brook Street website. Here you will find a link to register your interest and state the role that you are interested in. We are committed to engaging with you.

There is already a SharePoint created with the resources available. We also delivered a Topical Tuesday talk on the process, we can get a recording of that and share it if the teams missed it or we are also happy to hold another one.
