Why it matters

Public sector roles are won on the statement.

In the NHS, local government and the charity sector, applications are rarely shortlisted on the CV alone. They are won or lost on the supporting statement, where you have to evidence, against the person specification, that you can do the job.

We help you do exactly that. Every statement is mapped to the criteria, evidences your real achievements, and is written in your voice, by someone who has shortlisted thousands of applications for roles across Oxford and beyond.

Evidence against the spec, in your own words.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

What is a supporting statement?

It is the part of a public sector application where you evidence, against the person specification, how you meet each criterion. It is usually what shortlisting is based on, more than the CV.

Do you write for NHS Jobs and Trac applications?

Yes. We write supporting statements for NHS Jobs, Trac, local government and charity applications, structured the way each panel reads and scores.

Will it address the person specification?

Yes. Every statement is mapped to the essential and desirable criteria so each one is clearly evidenced, in your own voice.

How quickly can you turn it around?

We work to your deadline. Drafts are typically delivered within a few working days, and an express turnaround is available where time is tight.

Do you guarantee an interview?

No. What we guarantee is a statement that evidences your suitability clearly and honestly against the criteria the panel will score.
