At Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, we welcome applications from all candidates.

At the Trust we always adhere to the UK Visas and Immigration rules pertaining to right to work; candidates who do not hold UK or Republic of Ireland (RoI) citizenship are required to obtain a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to be eligible to apply for either a Health and Care visa or Skilled Worker visa which allows them to work in the UK, unless they have eligibility to work in the UK via another route.

To avoid disappointment, candidates wishing to apply for a role at the Trust who do not hold UK or Republic of Ireland citizenship and who would require a CoS from an employer, should carry out a self-assessment process to identify the likelihood of obtaining CoS by visiting Work in the UK.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when writing job applications:

When one has decided to use the help of AI in writing job application, please note that it is essential to personalise the information, especially in the supporting statement segment of application. AI-generated content does not fully grasp the context and requirements of the job one applies to thus producing inaccurate and misleading statements. Full reliance on AI to write application can hinder chances of success at early stage of selection process as it cannot solely showcase how one's knowledge, experience and skills meet job requirements. It is important that to give personal touch to supporting statement and strike the balance to avoid it sounding robotic.

We have added a disclaimer to our application process advising that the use of AI is monitored and if applicants have used it then they are required to declare this.

How do you hear back from us?

We communicate via our trac.system account (@recruit.trac.jobs), please ensure that you regularly check your emails including junk/spam inbox, as your email provider's security settings may not recognise the sender as safe.

The Trust is committed to making a difference to the environment. Our "Save Planet Tameside & Glossop" strategy means that we work towards protecting our natural environment and "green" workplace practices at all times.
