Recruitment information

We recruit for a wide range of job roles including medical and non-medical posts.

Advertising vacancies

Most of our vacancies are advertised on NHS Jobs for a minimum of two weeks. However, as some of our positions attract a lot of applicants, we may close vacancies earlier than originally stated. We therefore advise you to complete your application as soon as possible.

If we decide to close a vacancy earlier than originally advertised, we will send an email notification to all applicants and they will then have 24 hours to finish and submit their application.

Agenda for Change

All non-medical vacancies are covered by Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions of employment. Agenda for Change is the national pay scale and conditions for all NHS workers with the exception of doctors, dentists, apprentices and some senior managers.

All Agenda for Change positions go through a job evaluation process to make sure that employees receive equal pay for work of equal value.

Medical recruitment

Employability

Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust works in partnership with Jobcentre Plus and all non-medical vacancies are advertised through Jobcentre Plus.
