Jobs by E Mail Service

The Jobs by Email service matches a job seeker’s requirements for employment with the profile of vacancies posted by NHS trusts in England and Wales and accessible on NHS Jobs. Job seekers who subscribe to this service receive an email listing those jobs that match the criteria identified by them. The criteria identified is considered each night, against the new vacancies posted the previous day, resulting in emails potentially being sent daily. The criteria are defined by using "strings" which can specify geographic region, specific job titles, skills or other definitions of the job you want. Job seekers can change the strings at any time, or unsubscribe from the Jobs by email service at any time.
