NHS Clinical Scientist Recruitment

That's wonderful. Looking forward to meeting everybody, probably in October in Nottingham?

Hi guys

I was recently made an offer for medical physics and have accepted. I was really hoping that the referencing etc would be done quickly in order to make the offer unconditional, but sadly this hasn't happened - in fact, haven't yet heard a thing from my trust. I'm now in a position where I'm going to have to reject another good offer over the next couple of days without 100% assurance that this STP post is in the bag. I suspect I'm worrying too much about this, but my question is: has anyone heard of offers being withdrawn late in the game (for any other reason than not getting a 2:1 - I already have a degree so this isn't an issue for me)? In other words, once you've been made an offer is it pretty likely to go ahead?

Thanks
J

I'm pretty sure that the references are to check that a) you didn't lie on your application form about your experience / degree etc, and b) you're not a comlete idiot. If you managed to get an offer it's pretty unlikely that either of these things will apply to you, so unless you put down a referee who doesn't like you (also unlikely!), I think you can feel secure in your position.

From what I can tell, the individual trust you have been assigned to follows up your references, not the centralised admissions that we have dealt with so far, and it can take a while for them to do it - it could be several months before you hear anything at all.

So I'd say you really have nothing to worry about, but you could well be in for a bit of a wait for it to be 100% finalised.

Hi Jenny,

Mitchell12 is on the right lines. If you haven't lied your face off, and you haven't given references who hate you, you should be fine!

Don't forget you'll have to pass the CRB etc, and be able to work in a clinical environment (blood diseases etc).

Does anyone know what if you don't make the 2:1 criteria...but did well in interview and had a good application (inc volunteer work, experiences, etc etc) Would you be still considered....anyone know about this? I'm just having mini heart attacks right now :/

Anyone??? ??

I'm on the reserve list for genetics I don't know whether I should have hope... I can't believe that I need to wait longer...

Congrats Jenny. Do you know what number you are? If you reply to the email they will tell you. Fingers crossed if you aren't fussy on location you may get an offer! I know how you feel, was on 2 reserve lists last year. Good luck!

Well done Jenny! I got rejected oh well! Fingers crossed for you x
