What NHS England is recruiting for

GovJobs is currently tracking 20 open vacancies at NHS England. The biggest groups are engineering and maintenance (2), finance (2) and planning and environment (2). 20 of them were advertised in the last 30 days. Roles are spread across 11 named locations.

13 of these adverts publish a salary. The median advertised starting figure is £79,504, and the published range runs from £32,073 to £131,827. That is above the £39,000 median across NHS roles on GovJobs.

7 fixed-term and 6 permanent roles are advertised here, and 1 offers remote or hybrid working. Their adverts typically stay open for about 14 days, so it is worth checking back rather than waiting for a monthly look.

These figures are calculated from the vacancies GovJobs holds for NHS England today, not from published workforce statistics, and they change as adverts open and close. We collect them from Nhs Jobs.

How pay works at a NHS organisation

Almost all NHS posts outside the most senior medical grades are paid on Agenda for Change, the national pay system that sorts roles into bands 2 to 9. The band, not the employer, sets the pay range, so the same band pays the same in Carlisle as it does in Cornwall — apart from High Cost Area Supplements in and around London. That is why an advert usually leads with a band rather than a salary.

How to apply to NHS England

NHS applications are scored against the person specification attached to the advert, usually through the TRAC recruitment system. The supporting information statement is where the decision is made: panels mark it point by point against the essential criteria, so an answer that mirrors their wording beats a general career summary. Values-based questions are standard, and most clinical posts need current professional registration before you can start.

GovJobs never takes the application itself — every listing above links to NHS England’s own advert, where you apply directly.
