We collect your name, telephone number, address, email address, bank account details and any other information required by Law. The personal data you provide in your application and as part of the recruitment process will only be held and processed for the purpose of selection processes and in connection with any subsequent employment or placement (unless indicated otherwise). Your data will only be retained for as long as is permitted by statute law and then destroyed.
