Well, the story long but I will keep this one short. I am on the HC in the UK as a biomedical scientist and I thought that enough is going to make me hot cake for NHS job but the contrary was the case. I have started applying from Nigeria before my wife got a care job that moved us up here and I did just one virtual interview while in Nigeria. I started applying from 2022 purely for biomedical jobs and to no avail i only got one invite which didn't even bother to give me about my application. The key thing here is never to give up and keep on applying and this paid off eventually. I was concentrating on the clinical scientist part and was not considering other sectors and this made me get a whole lot of "unfotunatelys". However, i decided to spread my net to catch more fishes and started applying for other roles mostly nonclinical roles and this little fact got me over 10 interviews. I was getting interviews and the problem now was how to put the right word in to get the job. This is basically done by studying the JD well enough and also identify the trusts values in responses. I discovered they just want you to sound right. The long wait ended when I got the call that I will be placed on reserve for that role i interviewed for which has never happened before and 2 weeks later I was called for the offer. Persistence is very key here and perseverance and patience.

Congratulations I'm happy for you

I can only but imagine the shege you went through in the hands of your wife while you were without a job for 2 whole years.

It did take you a whole lot of time to get a job.

I reckon u studied MLS in Nigeria?

Congratulations bruh, prepare for another long wait. After the Conditional offer letter, which has to do with reference, occupational and wellness, DBS and ID check before the unconditional offer letter will come it's another long wait.

Though it depends on the NHS, but some take like 8-12 weeks I know the wait can't be compare. Congratulations to you and welcome on board.

Go to Google, check for NHS most time you have to on Trac and start applying for jobs. Wishing u luck, if u are in Nigeria u have to pray and pray bcuz most of them don't want to pick international people again due to sponsorship.

Ass long as the process is credible others have same opportunities to get it. Though I'm reality it may have easier or harder as the case maybe depending on the prevailing circumstances of the recruitment. Sharing a link isn't as big deal if someone asks.

How easy was it for you to get HC ed?

Congratulations.

I love the tenacity.

Trac?

Trac?

Yes, better still you can search on Google for the NHS u want to apply for like the county u want or love to be. But I will advice u go for the less urban area, for e.g why do u want to be in London when area like South Hampton have more jobs to offer, why do u want to stay in Manchester when other areas have jobs to offer in their NHS. Just an advice though.
