Nhs cv

Hello,

I am about to apply for a position within IT in the NHS. I am in the process of updating my CV but wondered if anyone can help (insiders maybe) with a NHS Approved CV layout, template or whatever or any tips even.

Any help appreciated.

    Are you sure the NHS accepts CV's? I thought they recruited on equal ops lines.

    Most NHS organisations recruit using standard templates to ensure consistency & meet equal opps opportunities.

    CVs tend to only be for agency / temp work.

    Have a look at https://www.jobs.nhs.uk for the main NHS recruitment site.

    Highlight any experience you have using generic software; if you've used in house software - highlight the fact that you're able to pick things up quickly; customer service skills; anywhere you've saved money / time / effort for an organisation or improved systems or a process.

    Demonstrate how you've added value and relate it to their area of work.

    Keep it short, but enough meat in it to want you to come in.
