We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis.

 At SEO London, a Training and Education charity, we firmly believe in providing candidates with the necessary support and guidance for applying for a position with us. Therefore, we recommend including a cover letter when submitting your application.

 Candidates submitting a cover letter are one step further from the applicants who still need to submit one.
 
 Crafting a strong cover letter involves demonstrating how your qualifications align with the job or company you're seeking. It's crucial to review the job description and consider the following questions carefully:
 

• What are the keywords?
• What are the key responsibilities?
• What are the significant skills and experiences you need?

The structure and formatting of the Cover Letter should
 

• Stay within 1-page
• Answer the questions: 'Why the firm?' 'Why the role?' and 'Why you?'

Safeguarding

All posts at SEO London involve some degree of responsibility for safeguarding. Successful applicants are required to complete a Disclosure Form from the Disclosure and Barring Service ("DBS") for the position. Failure to declare any convictions (that are not subject to DBS filtering) may disqualify a candidate for appointment or result in summary dismissal if the discrepancy comes to light subsequently.
