Demonstrating the key competencies

To help you provide us with the necessary information for demonstrating your key competencies relevant to the role, the advertisment asks up to four key questions about the competencies or behaviours that you must demonstrate to be suitable for the role. In Christian Aid we define competencies as being the behaviours or actions that can be seen when a job is being done well. Competencies are then supported by the knowledge and skills of the inidividual performing well in the role. By knowledge we mean information that has to be learned and recalled to carry out a job and by skill we mean the application of that knowledge in a practical way to achieve a result. The key questions in the advertisement are drawn from a larger group of competencies included in the role profile. In answering, please provide as much evidence as you can in the boxes, on pages 4 and 5, to explain the Situation in which you acted, what you were Tasked to do, the Actions you took and the Results you achieved. Answering the questions in this way will help the short-listing panel recognise and understand clearly the combination of knowledge, skills and competencies that you bring to the role. Whilst providing as much information as possible about your qualities, be mindful to contain your responses to the size of the boxes available. It is important that you are brief and concise. Any additional information that you think is relevant to this application can be added to the Additional information section on page 6 of this application form.
