NHS HR person claims to reject GC applicants

61 replies

Anyone happen to know where this person works? He's claiming he illegally discriminates against job applicants with GC views, I'd love to discuss that with his employer.

The amount he posts every day, I doubt he is even employed.

What about this? Sharing the post of an obvious troll on mumsnet.

NHS HR person claims to reject GC applicants

Abitofhassle · 13/05/2024 11:53

NHS jobs are applied for online and applicants are selected by the department lead, team lead and interview panel. Everything is in the online portal and applications cannot be discarded by HR.
I suspect Sam is looking for attention and/or talking out of his hat.

If you are qualified for the post, you’ll get an interview although if you document strong views on your application that are irrelevant to the post, I’d be questioning your judgement on why you thought it necessary to include. This is regardless of whether I agree with your ideals or not.

Anyone can pretend to be anything on TwiX. Nothing to stop me claiming to be a builder or an optician or a lawyer even.

Yes but if they actually work for the NHS they are bringing heir employer into disrepute.

Yes he said he worked in a birthing unit in the NHS in Wolverhampton

Harassedevictee · 13/05/2024 11:11

The obvious way would to write/email the head of NHS and the Dept for Health & social care and ask for confirmation this is not official policy.

In a now deleted tweet he stated exactly where he worked. This may not have been true, of course.

Edited

Was it the NHs ?

theDudesmummy · 13/05/2024 10:48

He could be on holiday?

StealthSpinach · 13/05/2024 10:40

Sam also claimed to be in a Melbourne dry cleaners when Glinner entered… If Sam is indeed in Australia, all the mentions of Trusts/etc is also crap.

Needmoresleep · 13/05/2024 10:23

If he is an NHS employee, something should happen. Can you imagine the furore if instead of GC he had mentioned another protected characteristic other than belief, ie disability, race or sexuality.

Ohh he needs to lose his job surely, on the basis of hate and discrimination? The tweet hasn’t been deleted.

theDudesmummy · 13/05/2024 10:11

This is satire surely?

sashh · 13/05/2024 09:32

THis was a couple of weeks ago, he then claimed it was a joke.

ShamedBySiri · 13/05/2024 08:41

@RichardMarxisinnocent is correct re the employment process so I doubt this person is in a position to influence employment.

In a screenshot tweet further down the thread the person claims to work in a birthing unit and love helping birthing parents bring new life into the world. I sincerely hope they aren't a midwife.

Needmoresleep · 13/05/2024 08:32

From the profile it seems that Sam is a transman. From the tweets it seems that Sam is unhinged. I hope it is a spoof. Trouble is, it could be real.

HoneyButterPopcorn · 13/05/2024 08:22

I think this is a joke account. They seem a bit… bonkers

eurochick · 13/05/2024 08:20

Sam seems quite confused.

Ingenieur · 13/05/2024 08:12

nothingcomestonothing · 13/05/2024 08:06

He/him seems very sure of he/his self despite seeming to have no understanding of what homophobia, transphobia or the law are

Sam also doesn't understand what being gender critical means, as evidenced by another post on Sam's feed.

PronounssheRa · 13/05/2024 07:28

What a foolish thing to brag about. The first whiff of an employment tribunal where this person works and this tweet will be in the evidence bundle.

Yep

If he’s not making it all up this would be used

Rainbowshit · 13/05/2024 08:09

That person is really not well. I've muted them on Twitter.

RichardMarxisinnocent · 13/05/2024 08:08

Justme56 · 13/05/2024 07:59

If you follow the thread down it tells you. However, if the tweet since deleted is true then it’s questionable if they work in an HR capacity. Who knows? I think there are many people who are on X who pretend to be in roles they are not in some vain attempt to make them sound more credible.

I'm not convinced he even works in the NHS. I do, and that vast majority of jobs are applied for by online application form, not by CV. Nobody sees the name and personal details of the applicants until shortlisting is completed and people have been invited to interview, so no opportunity to look them up on social media until then. At interview it's generally the manager and at least one colleague on the panel. There might also be an HR rep (but in my department i have never had one on a panel with me) but if they wanted to veto a GC candidate they'd have to get the rest of the panel to agree and potentially get them to agree to fake the scoring.

ditalini · 13/05/2024 08:06

I'd put money on him making all this up tbh, but that's because surely no-one's that stupid.

Virtue signalling fool.
