The next step - short-listing and interviews

After the closing date for a post has passed, there will be a short-listing process and successful candidates at this stage will be invited to a formal interview before any appointments are made to posts.

Pre-employment checks

If you are successful in being recruited to a post, various pre-employment checks will take place. Some of these apply to everyone, such as a Criminal Records Bureau check (CRB Check) and an Occupational Health Check. We will also take up your references and check any work permits (as necessary). Proof of professional registration and clinical qualifications in the form of original certificates will also be required for those of you taking up medical and clinical posts within the PCT as appropriate.

PCT Induction Programme

The Trust has a structured induction programme available for all employees. Part of this includes two full days of training to introduce you to the NHS and the organisation. The following areas are covered:

  • Introduction to the Trust
  • Staff Benefits
  • Introduction to risk management
  • Introduction to clinical governance
  • Basic Fire Safety Training
  • Health and Safety Awareness
  • Child Protection
  • Manual handling (non-clinical)

However depending on the nature of your new role, you may also require additional induction training or training to higher levels accordingly.
