To help your onboarding go smoothly, it’s essential that internal applicants:
Use their NHS.net email address in their TRAC profile
Ensure your application is marked to show that you are a current CNWL staff member
Applications using personal email addresses (e.g. Gmail or Yahoo) will not be recognised, and the process simply won’t work. There is also a charge to change new starter personal email addresses to their nhs.net email address.
Before you apply:
Log into TRAC and update your email to your NHS.net address
Check your application details and make sure you are identified as an internal applicant
This small step helps avoid major problems later.
