How we built NHS Jobs
NHS Jobs is built by the NHS for the NHS and is free at the point of delivery to those organisations meeting the relevant criteria.
We've worked with employers and stakeholders to develop an end-to-end service that manages the full recruitment process.
We've built and we're iterating NHS Jobs based on user feedback to make sure that we’re delivering a service that’s fit for purpose, future proof and meets your needs.
We carry out user research sessions with both employers and applicants, using a combination of interviews, focus groups, pop-up testing and surveys.
Our service is built with accessibility in mind. It also works on a variety of devices so applicants can see and apply for vacancies however they choose.
NHS Jobs is integrated with the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and is built with open Application Programming Interfaces (API) so it can work easily with other tools and services. Read more about NHS Jobs integration and benefits.
