Making a job profile

You can apply for non training jobs in UK via these 2 websites:



It is essential to create your profile in both these websites because employers/ trusts may use either of the two to communicate to you. Each trust has a different policy. However, more than 90% of the trusts will use trac.jobs to communicate. So, if you plan to use only 1 website, go for trac.jobs.

If you wish to apply via jobs.nhs website, do not worry. If your employer uses trac.jobs for reviewing your application, you will get an email saying that your mail has been imported into trac.jobs. You can go to trac.jobs and claim your application.

Please make sure that you DO NOT apply for the same post through both the above websites. Use either one of the two. Applying for the same job twice(even if it is visa different websites), gives a negative impression about you. It shows that you did not bother to remember whether you have applied for the job prior.


Information asked in your job profile:

1. Personal details: name, address, contact number, visa details. etc
     Please mention your visa details clearly so that your potential employer knows that they will have       to sponsor a Tier 2 visa for you.
2. Your qualifications, including your GMC registration details.
     If GMC has invited you for an ID check and your ID check date is in a couple of weeks, you can         safely say that you have full registration with license to practise. For all practical purposes, your         employer is likely to process your profile after a few weeks, by then you would have your                   registration.
3. Employment history: Put in your internship details too, as one single employer.
4. Referees: You would need atleast three references for most of your jobs. They will be contacted as      a part of your pre-employment checks. So make sure that you keep them in the loop as well.
5. Supporting information:
  • Declaration of practical experience.
  • Teaching
  • Research
  • Publication
  • Presentation
  • Prizes or academic distinction
  • Management and leadership experience
  • Team working
  • Other supporting information
      It is perfectly alright if you do not have anything to write about under all these categories. You            will still get a job. But please DO NOT put in any fake information.
6. Monitoring information: DOB, religion.etc- for statistical purposes.
7. Safeguarding: A few yes/no questions.

Remember: A 'perfect CV' does not exist. Write whatever you think is important and in whichever format you want. Do not follow anyone. Your CV should be unique and should reflect your personality.

That's it! You have now made your profile. It's now time to start applying for  jobs.
