The roles are usually hybrid working. You would have a mixture of face to face and remote university learning, work in the service area and remote work too. You would need to be able to attend clinics in your chosen area. Occasionally we have completely remote roles, it depends on the service area and the university course. The adverts will state what the expectation is for face to face and remote working.

As the recruitment for each university course is managed by a different service and university, you would need to apply separately for the service area you are interested in when the adverts are published.

Each university has different expectations for this. Some require you to have your portfolio completed by interview date, others don’t require this until your start date. If the information around this is not on the advert, please contact us for further information.

The roles are usually advertised in May/June time for a September start, and then October/November time for a February/March start. The number of roles available for each cohort varies. Occasionally there is a January intake.

Each recruitment drive is different so Universities may differ from time to time. Courses are typically for one-year full-time with one teaching day per week at the University, one study day per week and three days per week in service. This can be a mixture of remote and face-to-face working so you must be able to attend both the University and service areas.

We have established links with universities across the country and previous trainees have attended courses in the following areas:

• University of Hertfordshire
• University of Nottingham
• University of Sheffield
• University of Exeter
• Newcastle University
• University of East Anglia
• Coventry University

For all our employed roles we will provide all IT equipment and software necessary for you to carry out your role. For any of our Network/self employed roles we provide a link to log in to our platforms online but do not provide any IT equipment or software.

For the majority of our roles we cannot offer placements, and for those that we do, these would only be clinical placements for students that are already undertaking the required course for the role or as part of an NHS  rotation.

We can only accept applications from candidates that live in the UK full time.

Sometimes we need to close adverts early as we’ve received a very high level of applications. All candidates that have incomplete applications will be emailed to make them aware of this. We won’t be able to consider any further applications once the role has closed as there are already a large volume to consider.

We are always more than happy to answer questions that aren’t covered by the job advert and attached job description. Please email recruitment@vhg.co.uk with your questions and we will pass this onto the best person to deal with these.
