Recruitment process

Reasonable adjustments and Disability Confident Scheme (DCS)

We will ensure, where possible, that reasonable adjustments are made at interview to meet the needs of applicants with disabilities.

You must ensure that you include this on the application form and enter an early dialogue with the recruiting organisation.

Failure to provide the requested information and documentation by the stated deadline will result in adjustments and/or Guaranteed Interview Scheme status not being met. Any applicants applying under DCS will be required to score above the minimum cut-off score in the MSRA exam – this is 201 on each of the 2 components. For more information regarding reasonable adjustments and the guaranteed interview scheme, visit the support page via the portal.

Longlisting

Longlisting is the process of checking that you meet the minimum requirements to be eligible for a Nuclear Medicine post. You can find the eligibility criteria on the person specification here. More information about longlisting can be found on the Medical Specialty Recruitment pages.

Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA)

As part of the selection process for 2024 recruitment all applicants will be required to sit the MSRA (unless they have not met the initial eligibility checks). The result from this will form your shortlisting score.

The MSRA is a computer-based assessment, delivered in partnership with Work Psychology Group and Pearson VUE, which has been designed to assess some of the essential competences outlined in the Person Specification and is based around clinical scenarios.

Information:

You can find further information on the MSRA here.

Shortlisting

In the event that the volume of eligible applicants exceeds the interview capacity, applications will be shortlisted for the purpose of reducing the number of applicants invited to interview to a number which we can accommodate.

Please note that applicants will be required to score above the minimum cut-off score in the MSRA exam – this is 201 on each of the 2 components.

All applicants that score higher than the cut-off score but are not initially invited to interview will be put on a reserve list this will be indicated by your Oriel status. If you have not been invited to book an interview via Oriel by 6 March 2024, unfortunately you will not receive an invite during this round.

Important: Important

Should at this stage or any stage your application be found to not meet essential criteria, as outlined in the person specification, you will be found ineligible, and your application will not be progressed further.
