NHS Jobs has been shortlisted for a prestigious Personnel Today award for its role in delivering 'excellence in HR through technology'.
The independently judged awards, run by the UK's leading weekly magazine for human resources professionals, recognise and reward teams who are making an impact with their HR policies and deliver great financial benefits for their organisations.
NHS Jobs, as well as providing the biggest single point of access to job opportunities in the NHS throughout England and Wales, also enables employers to recruit new staff more cost effectively and channel those savings into improving patient care.
Award winners will be announced in November.

As a result of feedback and requests from the NHS Jobs user community a number of improvements have been made to the search facility of the NHS Jobs service as of the 28 February 2008. The details of the improvements made are:
NHS Jobs has upgraded the database of locations which gives you far greater choice when searching for vacancies. In the case of 'duplicate' locations you can now specify which location you actually mean e.g. there are 2 Brixtons in England, but you will now be able to distinguish the Brixton in Devon from the Brixton in London and receive more specific search results.
If you have Jobs by Email set-up and have used one of the duplicate location names within your search, we have defaulted the location to the most likely of the duplicates. We will warn you if we have done this in your first 3 emails after the changes are made.
If the wrong location has been chosen, you can easily change it to the correct location. To make this change log on to the NHS Jobs site, click on the "My Jobs by Email" link in the left hand menu, this will take you to your saved search settings. Click the "Edit" button on the search you wish to amend, delete the location identifier that appears in the curly brackets, '{}', within the location field and then click on "Save" at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to a screen where you can clarify your location option from a drop-down list and add additional locations if you wish. Once you have chosen the appropriate location clicking on "Submit" will save the choice to your Jobs by Email search settings.
The salary selection on both the Detailed Search and Jobs by Email has been changed to incorporate a lower and upper selection so that you can search for a salary within a range of values. You can also search for vacancies by specifying a pay scheme and pay band, both of which are new items to the search.
Another enhancement enables the recruiters to mark a vacancy as suitable for a newly qualified applicant. In the Detailed Search and Jobs by Email forms there is a checkbox, as part of the 'Job Type' selection, this allows you to search for those vacancies that have been flagged as suitable for newly qualified applicants. It will take a little time for this type of vacancy to grow in number as recruiters have only been able to set this flag from 28 February 2008.
The NHS Jobs service has implemented https security enabled web pages across those parts of the service where application details are entered or viewed. Https indicates that a secure Http connection is used (Learn More).
NHS Jobs is very conscious of providing a secure service. As such the implementation of https is designed to assure users over and above the security measures currently in place that their interactions with NHS Jobs, such as submitting their personal details on applications, are transmitted and stored securely.
The changes have been implemented across the candidates' login and application forms, where personal information is submitted or viewed.
You will not notice any significant differences to how the service operates or performs. However you will notice that the web addresses start with https and that a yellow padlock will be visible on your web browser when looking at the login form and application form.
You can now access information on NHS Jobs in Welsh. Since 22 August 2007, NHS Jobs has provided a Welsh language service for the majority of our web pages and for some vacancy details where this option made available by the recruiting employer. Where a Welsh language version of a page is available, click on 'Cymraeg' and the translated page will automatically appear.
The NHS Jobs team will continue to work closely with NHS Wales and the Welsh Language Board in order to continue making improvements to the site. However, we would welcome your feedback on the Welsh language service highlighting any areas you think need improvement in order that a first class service for the people in Wales is maintained.
If you have any comments or feedback on this enhancement to the NHS Jobs service please let us know by filling in a feedback form.

Are you a newly qualified healthcare professional? If you qualified in the 18 months there is now a new NHS Jobs service that may help you find your first job in healthcare.
Log into NHS jobs today, set up your 'Jobs by e-mail' searches and then use the 'Your Profiles' link to register your details with your local Newly Qualified Profile Pool - there's one for each SHA region in England. You'll start to receive details of NHS job opportunities as soon as they are advertised, and your local SHA will provide you with additional support including information about job opportunities outside of the NHS, additional career support available and other local information to help your job search.
This service has been designed to support healthcare professionals that have already qualified in their chosen profession. If you have not yet received your qualification you will not be eligible to sign up for this service.
For further information, log-in and click on the ‘Your Profiles’ link on the left hand list of links and select the Pool closest to where you studied. Additional information about the service is available here.
