How to find jobs in the NHS
When most people think about finding jobs in the NHS, they will automatically think of NHS Jobs as the place to find jobs. Today we explore three alternatives and discuss how they can help you find your next job in the NHS:
1 - Trac Jobs - This is run by an external company to the NHS. However, the advantage of Trac jobs is it has a high number of jobs available, you can set job alerts, and it will link to internal hospital systems to ensure if you are successful all your details will be transferred to the NHS system.
2 - Internal Hospital Website - If you are wanting a job in a certain hospital as it may be close to you etc, all hospitals have their own career page. This will normally be updated before you will see it on NHS jobs, and gives you an advantage of knowing how often the hospital recruits and when vacancies close.

How to find NHS jobs with sponsorship?
Working in the NHS is a goal for many people. And it’s not hard to understand why. Good pay, excellent overtime, leading pension and full sick pay mean a career in the NHS is often a job for life for most people.
Unfortunately, many people require sponsorship, and therefore not all jobs in the NHS are suitable for them. We are going through the steps you need to take to find the NHS jobs that offer sponsorship.
Look for the notice on the job advert that says ‘Applications from job seekers who require current skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications’.
Understand the rules, if a suitably qualified, experienced and skilled candidate who already has the right to work in the UK applies for the job, the employer may not be able to offer you sponsorship.
Therefore to prove you are the most qualified, experienced and skilled candidate, you need to make a good application, that’s where we come in.

Why Do I never get invited to an NHS interview?
The three main reasons you will fail to be invited to interview are:
No1. You fail to ensure you meet the essential and at least some of the desirable criteria on the job description, in fact you may not have even read the person specification at all. When applying to jobs, you must ensure you read the job description and person specification to ensure you are meeting the minimum criteria the employer is looking for.
No2. Your supporting information does not explain how you meet the essential and desirable criteria, this is how the recruitment department will choose who is invited to interview, failing to do this correctly is the number one reason for rejection. Most people simply do not know how to write these, you can either continue to be rejected, or you can let us write it for you! Click the link below to get started!

No3. You never arrange an informal visit to the department after you have made your application, this means you do not stand out from the hundreds of applicants. Making a visit to the department will ensure you stand out from the crowd, and you will be a familiar face by the time you are interviewed.

NHS Interview Questions
Most people dread NHS interviews, however preparing well for them means you will almost always guarantee a job. With that in mind, here are 3 of the most common interview questions in the NHS...
1. What do you know about the values of our trust/hospital?
This basic question is extremely popular. The interviewer is not only wanting to know that you know the values of the hospital, they want to know if you have done any research on the hospital before attending for the interview.
2. How do you stay organised and manage your time?
Working in the medical sector can be chaotic, you can be overworked, and learning to prioritise is key to succeeding in this high pressure environment. You need to demonstrate to the interviewer, how you are capable of doing this, use examples from previous jobs or even examples from your personal life.
3. Give us an example of when you have worked well in a team?
Healthcare is a team industry, it relies on many people working together to help deliver the best outcomes for patients. You need to demonstrate how you are a great team player,. this could be in a previous job, any sports you play or even your time as a student.

How to write the NHS Supporting Information?
One of the most common questions we are usually asked is ‘How do I write the NHS Supporting Information?’
For those of you unfamiliar with what this is, it is essentially the way that the NHS will decide who will be invited to an interview. As such it is vital, that the supporting statement is well written in order to ensure an interview, and subsequently secure your dream job.
The main objective when writing a supporting statement is to demonstrate to the hiring manager why you are the best candidate for the job. Keep this in mind when writing your supporting statement.
We asked some of our writers, who have been writing NHS CV’s and Supporting Statements for over 10 years, what their top tips were for writing a great supporting statement. Here’s what they had to say:
Talk about what skills and experience you have gained from previous jobs or training. Even if the jobs are very different, you will have always gained soft skills (e.g. communication and team work). These are always transferrable, and what the NHS is looking for.
Mention any previous voluntary work, no matter how long ago you volunteered. This could have been in a hospital or any other setting. No matter where you have volunteered, this is a great way to show you will go above and beyond, a vital skill in the health service.
Whilst mentioning all your qualities, it is vital you demonstrate how you meet all the essential skills, and most of the desirable skills on the person specification.

Top Tips for Writing a Winning UK Healthcare CV
In a competitive healthcare job market in the UK, having a standout CV is essential for landing your dream position. Here are some expert tips to optimise your UK healthcare CV for success:
Tailor Your CV for the Role:
Ensure your CV is tailored to the specific healthcare role you're applying for. Highlight relevant skills, experiences, and qualifications that align with the job description.
Highlight NHS Experience:
If you have experience working within the NHS, make it a focal point. Mention specific departments, roles, and any notable achievements. This can significantly boost your credibility with potential employers.
Emphasise Qualifications and Certifications:
Clearly list your qualifications and certifications, including the date of completion. Ensure they are easy to locate on your CV, making it simple for recruiters to assess your eligibility for the position.
Showcase Continuing Professional Development (CPD):
Demonstrate your commitment to ongoing learning and improvement by including relevant CPD activities. This could include courses, workshops, or conferences attended to stay current with industry advancements.
Use Industry-Specific Keywords:
Incorporate industry-specific keywords naturally throughout your CV. This ensures that your CV passes through applicant tracking systems (ATS) used by many employers.
Quantify Achievements:
Where possible, quantify your achievements. Whether it's improvements in patient outcomes, successful project implementations, or cost-saving initiatives, providing specific numbers adds credibility to your accomplishments.
Include a Personal Statement:
Craft a concise personal statement at the beginning of your CV. This should summarize your key skills, experiences, and career goals. Tailor this section for each application to make a strong first impression.
Focus on Soft Skills:
In addition to technical skills, emphasize your soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These qualities are crucial in a healthcare setting and can set you apart from other candidates.
Keep it Concise:
Aim for a clear and concise CV. Avoid unnecessary details and lengthy paragraphs. Recruiters often have limited time to review each application, so make it easy for them to identify your strengths quickly.
Professional Formatting:
Ensure your CV is well-organized and follows a professional format. Use clear headings, bullet points, and a clean layout. A visually appealing CV is more likely to capture the attention of recruiters.
By implementing these tips, you can create a compelling and optimized UK healthcare CV that increases your chances of standing out in the competitive job market. Good luck in your job search!
