Overview of Recruitment

You must meet eligibility criteria by the application closing date of the programme/post for which you are applying, including exam passes, if required.

Search College and Deanery websites, GP recruitment or NHS Jobs for vacancies. Vacancies will be advertised for a limited period (min two calendar weeks). Apply by each individual closing date, showing how you meet the criteria set by the person specification. You will be short-listed for interview against the criteria in the person specification. You may be given a limited time to confirm whether you will be attending the interview or assessment centre. This will be made clear in the application details.

Applicant support

Doctors in training can seek careers advice from tutors and others in their local deanery. Staff grade doctors can seek support from their consultants or others in medical staffing.

Prepare to take with you the required evidence of your eligibility and competences. (If you don’t take the required documents with you, you could risk being refused an interview.) Offers are coordinated for Core Medical Training, GP, Psychiatry and Paediatrics and Child Health.  Offers in these specialties may be held until 22 March.  For other specialties, you will have a minimum of 48 hours (not including weekends and bank holidays) to accept or decline a programme offer. After the agreed deadline, the offer will be deemed to have been declined.
