Creating a vacancy
To create a vacancy, you’ll need to confirm basic details about the role you’re recruiting for, including the job title and working hours. The system will automatically ask you for these details during the Create Vacancy process.
In the new NHS Jobs service we’ll be testing how well the Create Vacancy journey works. We ask that you use the system as it is currently and provide feedback on how this works for you. Your feedback will ensure any new enhancements and functionality added meets user needs.
Advertising bank, honorary, voluntary, ad hoc or secondment vacancies
The first release of the new NHS Jobs service has been built based on user research findings from recruiters with lower volumes of recruitment. This means we are currently not able to advertise bank, honorary, voluntary, ad hoc or secondment vacancies.
To advertise these role types you’ll need to continue to use the current NHS Jobs service.
How jobseekers can find your advert
Jobseekers will be able to search for vacancies using the current NHS Jobs service. Vacancies uploaded in the new NHS Jobs service will continue to appear in search results as normal.
If a jobseeker decides to apply for one of your roles, they’ll be automatically directed to the new NHS Jobs service to apply.
The two sites will run alongside each other and this will not affect your ability to recruit.
The NHS Jobs team will add your vacancies to the current NHS Jobs site on your behalf. We’ll use all the information from the vacancy you create on the system. You will also be required to complete a form to capture any additional information required by the current service.
Shortlisting
Re-advertising jobs
The new NHS Jobs service currently does not have the ability to re-advertise vacancies.
Amending closing dates
If you’d like to extend a vacancy date to advertise the job for longer, you can amend the closing date on a live vacancy.
If you do not receive any applications, or any suitable applications after shortlisting, and you’d like to re-advertise, you’ll need to follow the Create Vacancy process.
The new NHS Jobs service will be enhanced regularly with features based on your feedback, including the ability to re-advertise vacancies. We want to understand the best ways to re-advertise based on what you tell us.
Providing feedback on the service
We’ll ask you to provide feedback throughout your experience of using the new NHS Jobs service.
There’s no right or wrong type of feedback – we’re interested in anything you want to tell us about the site.
Your feedback could be about:
- The information on the screens you see and use
- The way the system moves you through the recruitment journey
- What the screens look like
- What you like or do not like about the service
- Anything else that you feel the NHS Jobs team need to know about, no matter how big or small.
Your feedback is very valuable to us, as it will shape future of NHS Jobs.
How to provide feedback
There are many different ways for you to provide your feedback, including:
- face-to-face meetings
- remote user research sessions
- over the telephone
- feedback links within the system itself
Changing information on a published vacancy
You’re able to amend your contact details and the closing date after the vacancy has been published.
You can do this by logging into your NHS Jobs account and selecting the vacancy from the list of your job adverts.
Under Advert publishing details you can see your contact details and the closing date. Select Change to update these details.
