  • September 19, 2024
 

As an IMG looking to join the NHS, you might be wondering, "Where can I find NHS jobs?" The answer is straightforward: NHS Jobs is the official website where most medical roles within the NHS are advertised. It's your go-to platform for seeking employment across various hospitals and trusts in the UK, whether you're a junior doctor, consultant, or specialist (SAS).

Navigating the NHS Job Application Process

  1. Register for an Account

    • Start by creating a profile on NHS Jobs. Provide your personal details, professional qualifications, and career history.
  2. Search for Jobs
