You will be asked to provide details of two or three referees. We will assume that we may approach your referees at any stage unless you tell us otherwise; please state clearly if you wish to be contacted before a referee is approached.

Ideally, your referees should be people who have direct experience of your work through working closely with you, and at least one of them should be your former line manager from your most recent job. Otherwise, they may be people who know you from recent college, school, or voluntary experience, and who have ideally acted in a supervisory capacity to you. Please tell us how each referee knows you.

• Your referees should not be related to you.
• If you have been previously employed by the University of Oxford, basic details, such as employment dates and the reason for leaving will be verified with your last employing department / unit.
