We recognise that work life balance is important for our colleagues and so we invite requests from applicants around less than full time/flexible working for our advertised roles. Please contact the recruiting manager to discuss this prior to your application submission. We commit to giving this full consideration in each case. We encourage people from diverse backgrounds to apply for our roles, as diversity strengthens our teams.

It is sometimes necessary to close vacancies before the closing date. If you have not heard from us within 4 weeks of the closing date, please assume that you have not been shortlisted.

Providing false information is an offence & could result in the application being rejected or summary dismissal/police action if an applicant is successful.

Please note that if you are successful in your application & accept the position you agree that the Staff Health and Wellbeing Department can access your health records from your current/previous employer in order to check the status of your inoculations & screening tests. This is an automated process & the information will only be used for these purposes prior to your taking up the position with us.

The Government had passed legislation requiring vaccination as a condition of deployment which was due to come into place from 1st April 2022. However, on 31st January 2022, the Secretary of State announced that this is being revoked. The government has since announced that it will bring forward the regulations to revoke vaccination as a condition of deployment. The revocation of the regulations will come into force on 15th March 2022 and this means that there will now be no legal requirement for staff to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 from 1st April 2022.

Whilst this is no longer a condition of employment, UHP NHS Trust strongly recommend that you are vaccinated against Covid-19 and full vaccination remains the best line of defence in order to protect yourself, your colleagues and your family.
