Hey! I applied to nhs jobs and got offered a job straight away HOWEVER the nhs recruitment process takes about 3+ months till you actually start working. I wanted to work for private clinics but had no luck getting jobs due to being newly qualified and employers wanting years experience.

You hear back with 4/5 weeks and then 3 months after depending on references, health records, dbs. Recruitment are incredibly slow. Once they’ve got all that you get a start date for induction. So I applied late sept started january
