Key Messages

·        Please let us know if you require an adjustment to our recruitment process.

·        All correspondence will be sent via the email address you have registered as your TRAC account.

·        Selection is based on the Trust's values, and the criteria outlined in the Job Description for the role.

·        Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their employees have a “right to work” in the UK. Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust hold a Sponsor Licence, which means that we MAY be able to sponsor you IF the role meets the UK Government requirements for sponsorship. Not all NHS roles are eligible for sponsorship. To be eligible for sponsorship, the role must be in an eligible occupation code and must meet the skill level and the minimum salary threshold (usually £38,700 per year for Skilled Worker or £23,200 for Health Care Worker Visa).  You can find more information on the Government website. 

·        Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the entry point (bottom) of the pay band.

·        Appointments are subject to a 6-month probationary period.  LED Doctors are subject to a 3-month probationary period.

·        Please provide a contact email address for referees when you  submit your application. We will not request any references until after you have been made a formal job offer.

·        You will be required to pay for your DBS disclosure (where the post requires one). This will be done via 3 monthly instalments from your pay.  We encourage applicants to join and remain registered with the DBS update service.

·        We do not reimburse travel to interview expenses.

·        Some posts may have implications on existing NHS Pension Scheme arrangements. For further information please visit the NHS Pensions Agency website: https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-pensions

·        Secondments will be considered for fixed term positions when both parties agree.  Candidates should seek approval from their current line manager before application.
