Would this be the job you're leaving?

Indirectly. It's recruitment to fill the niche left after reshuffling stuff that people do around the department a bit.

where do you go to get an application form :)

If you forward me a CV I'll pass it onto HR. It's not an 'application form' thing, but a 'send in CVs' thing :). Otherwise, ring up HR at Alstom Rugby.
