• All our jobs are posted on this website. If you don't see a job you want, you can set up an email alert to be notified when new jobs are available.

• To apply, click the apply button on the relevant job page and complete the application form.

• If you've applied before using Jobtrain, you can copy your previous application to save time.

• Watch our short animation at the end of this page which shows how to submit an application.

If you have found a job you'd like to apply for, the next step is to ensure you submit a great application. Preparation is key! Before you start your application, make sure you have the following information to hand:

• Your home address

• Contact details

• National Insurance number (if you have one)

• Employment history

• Qualifications you’ve studied

• Your professional registration/PIN (if applicable)

• The name and contact details of someone who could provide a reference

When we shortlist applications, we assess how closely you meet the key requirements of the role. Make sure you carefully read the job description and person specification. If you don’t meet the essential criteria, it’s unlikely that you’ll be shortlisted.

We aim to hire people who share our values and behaviours. We expect all staff to consistently demonstrate these values when interacting with colleagues, patients, visitors, and the wider Mid Yorkshire community. We've provided information on our values and behaviour charter within our careers site. 

In your application we recommend you show how you care, maintain high standards, respect others, and keep improving.

Some of examples of this are provided below:

• An example of how I show care is when I noticed a colleague struggling with a deadline. I offered to help by taking on some tasks and listened to their concerns. I was approachable and non-judgmental, and I helped reduce their workload.

• As a student, I always ensured that my assignments were completed on time and paid close attention to following instructions and guidelines. If I identified an area for improvement, I would speak up and seek feedback to learn and enhance my skills for the next assignment.

Our application forms include questions that allow you to highlight your skills, knowledge, experience, talents, strengths, and how your values align with those of the Trust.

It’s important to provide real examples of your skills or knowledge, don’t just say you are good at something. As an example, if a role requires strong organisational skills, you could explain that you manage your tasks using a to-do list and regularly communicate with your team about deadlines.

If you don’t meet one of the key requirements for the role, it’s okay to acknowledge this, but explain how you plan to address it (e.g., through training) and emphasise that you’re a quick learner.

If you lack formal employment experience, use examples from school or volunteering. Experience is important, but we also look for personality, attitude, commitment, teamwork, and your understanding of who we are and the services we provide.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) tools like chatbots and virtual assistants can be a helpful way to support the process of completing your job application. These tools can assist by checking for spelling or grammar errors, improving sentence structure, or providing suggestions on what to include.

However, while AI can streamline certain aspects of the writing process, it should never replace your own responses or be used to write your application for you.

Responses created by AI often don’t fully match the job requirements and can feel general or impersonal. They might not show your unique voice, experiences, or perspective. AI could also give incorrect information about your qualifications, skills, or experience, which could harm your application.

We check applications carefully and you might also be asked about your experience in the interview, so it’s important to make sure your application is accurate and honest. While AI can help improve your application, your supporting statement should still be personal and written in your own words. This is your chance to show how your skills and experiences match the job and explain why you’re the right person for the role.

• Your application will be reviewed to ensure your skills, knowledge and experience match the job that you have applied for.

• If your application is successful, you will be shortlisted and invited for an interview.

• If you are not selected, we will notify you by email. We encourage you to apply for other positions with us in the future, as your skills and experience may be a better fit for upcoming roles.

• You can keep track of any emails that we send in your Jobtrain account.
