The application form does not have to be completed in one go but can be stored, returned to as many times as you like before the vacancy closing date, as you will set up personal login details.

When filling in an application form, we advise candidates read all of the attached documentation. This is because we often require you to respond to specific questions and will be unable to consider your application if questions are not fully answered. 

There are two ways to register for access to NHS Jobs and set up your personal log in: 

• on the NHS Jobs home page www.jobs.nhs.uk
• if you are viewing a vacancy, you can simply click “apply now” and you will be prompted to register if you do not already have an account. 

You will need to complete some personal details and provide an email address. You will also be asked to create a memorable password in order to go back to the site and your details in the future. 

During the recruitment process, the Trust will send all correspondence to your email address, such as notification of interview dates if you have been successful at the short-listing phase. It is important that you provide an email address you are able to access regularly when applying for a position.
