Who are we looking for?
We are looking for:
- high achieving graduates
- people who are passionate about science or technology
- people who want to apply their skills and knowledge for the benefit of patients and the public
- people who seek constant improvement and innovation.
We want people who can undertake complex scientific and clinical roles, defining and choosing investigative and clinical activity and making key judgements about complex facts and clinical situations. Many will work directly with patients as well as being involved in innovation, research and development and education and training.
Candidates might have a variety of relevant qualifications and experience. As a minimum, they should have an upper second class honours degree, or equivalent in a relevant pure or applied science. Those with a higher degree and/or research experience in their chosen field are encouraged to apply.
The NHS cares for a highly diverse community and it is vital that NHS staff reflect this. For this reason the programme welcomes people from all backgrounds.
The generic job description and person specification for the 2012 programme are also available. Please note that these are subject to change.
