NHS recruitment - how far back should my employment history go?

5 replies

icebearforpresident · 15/04/2023 12:07

I’m applying for an admin role in the NHS. Online application doesn’t specify how far back I should go with my employment history, would 10 years be plenty or should I go back to my first full time job out of uni? Part of me thinks 10 years is plenty and if they want more I will of course provide the info, but don’t want my application rejected because I haven’t given the info upfront. Graduated in 2007 and the further back I go the less relevant the information is to the job I’m applying for now.

I do all of my jobs, that's now more than 30 years and 5 jobs.

I do much less detail for the old ones

You go all the way back. Don’t leave gaps.

If the old jobs are way back and not very relevant, then it’s just job title and dates.

For the more recent (and more relevant) jobs, include details of responsibilities.
