Application Advice
Use of AI or other tools to assist in writing your job application is allowed but you must add your own personal touch, especially in the supporting statement section. Applications written only by AI often sound generic and may generate false or misleading information. It is important to write your supporting statement in your own words. The Trust does not recommend relying only on AI, as it could negatively impact your chance of success. We carefully check applications to ensure no one has an unfair advantage and we verify all references. At the interview you will be asked about your experience, so be honest and ensure everything you write is accurate. Using AI during the interview is not allowed.

We are a flexible‑working friendly organisation and we are open to job share, part‑time or other flexible patterns. Speak to us about how we might accommodate a flexible working arrangement that works best for you and for our patients.
