NHS Jobs Restricted Account - Applying for jobs in other NHS Organisations

You may already be aware that NHS Jobs recruitment website (www.jobs.nhs.uk) is used to advertise vacancies by nearly all NHS organisations.  Should you wish to apply for jobs  via NHS Jobs, then, as a redeployee, you are entitled to have a restricted NHS Jobs Account.  With this you will be able to set up alerts for jobs you may be interested in.

Whenever you apply for a post on NHS Jobs using the restricted account, your application will be flagged to show recruiting organisations that you are a redeployee. This won’t automatically give you any preferential treatment with other organisations but will alert any employers who have internal policies about the treatment of displaced staff to apply these policies if they wish.  You should request an NHS Jobs restricted Account by emailing hr.changeadmin@nhsbt.nhs.uk and this will be set up for you. If you should need any help in setting up your restricted account, then also request via the same email address for it to be arranged for a member of the Recruitment team to contact you to help.

You should note however that, like NHSBT, many NHS organisations now have their own Candidate Portals for applying for roles.  They will still advertise on NHS jobs and, if you find a vacancy you wish to apply for within NHS jobs which is for an organisation which has their own candidate portal, you will be diverted to that system to apply.  This means that the organisation will not be able to see that you have a restricted account as it is a separate system to NHS Jobs. 

If you wish to apply for jobs with such organisations, then HR Direct can offer you a service whereby they will call them on your behalf to advise them of the fact that you are a redeployee and to ask if you can be included in any priority system they may run.  You would need to let HR Direct know at the time of your application, and in good time for the closing date giving us:

• the Trust/NHS organisation’s name
• the vacancy reference number and job title
• any contact details provided within the advert

and the HR Change team will do what they can to get you any priority which may be available.

To request an NHS Jobs restricted Account please email us on hr.changeadmin@nhsbt.nhs.uk and we will be able to set this up for you and send you further details about this account.

Please note you should not rely on NHS Jobs for viewing all NHSBT vacancies as those vacancies open only to NHSBT staff will not appear here.  To ensure you get sight of ALL NHSBT Vacancies you should always search via the NHSBT e-Recruitment system.
