We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

A testimony statement from one of our current Band 3 Maternity Support Workers: 

“Joining UHS straight from college was the best decision I’ve ever made. My initial plan was to stay for a year and get some experience in the industry, then apply to university. Four and a half years down the line I am still here, after being offered an amazing opportunity to progress my career; working part time and being funded to attend university. The whole team has been so supportive of my career progression and I’m excited to see where this opportunity takes me”.
