Additional context and expectations
We welcome applications from those who are enthusiastic, ambitious and have an eagerness to develop the service and themselves. We encourage the use of technology to help manage time and support innovation, while ensuring applications are personalised and reflect the applicant’s own skills and experiences. AI may assist with drafting but content must be the applicant's own work and accurately reflect knowledge, abilities, and values. Over-reliance on AI-generated content may result in rejection. AI use during assessments or interviews is not permitted unless pre-approved as a reasonable adjustment.
Caring for patients demands integrity, honesty, and accountability. Applications should be authentic and reflect true experiences and values.

The four partner Trusts of the Black Country Provider Collaborative (Dudley Group NHS FT, Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, and Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust) collaborate to deliver better, faster and safer care.
