Recruitment Process

If youre looking for a specific role, you can either search our Current Vacancies or go directly to www.jobs.nhs.uk and search there.

If you find a suitable role, and your experience fits the bill, you should register and complete the online application form and submit it through the NHS jobs site.

You will automatically receive an email confirming receipt of your application. Within two days of the closing date, your application along with any others will be forwarded to the recruiting manager.

Around two to three weeks later, you'll receive another email; to let you know whether or not we'd like you to come for an interview. If you do have an interview, this email will include details of the date and venue and you will be asked to ring the Recruitment Department to book a convenient time for your interview.

Around two working days after the interview, well contact you and let you know if you've been successful.

If you have been successful, you will be sent a letter confirming the offer, stating this is subject to satisfacory clearances. Your references will be requested (if they haven't already) and your Occupational Health Questionnaire sent off for processing. During this time the Recruitment team may also need to contact you by phone or email to confirm some details.

Once your references have been received and checked, and your Occupational Health clearance given, your new manager will contact you to arrange a start date, which the recruitment team will confirm in writing.

Then all you have to do is look forward to joining us.
