NHS Vacancy Statistics

DatasetVerified2/7DownloadSubscribe🇬🇧United Kingdom

Provisional, experimental statistics on NHS vacancies in England, derived from administrative data on job adverts published on NHS Jobs, the main NHS recruitment website. Produced by NHS Digital, the figures offer an exploratory insight into NHS recruitment activity rather than a definitive measure, reflecting as much about the administrative data itself as about actual staff recruitment. A change in methodology, from counting vacancy adverts to counting advertised vacancy full-time equivalents, means figures before and after the change are not directly comparable, and users are advised against drawing firm conclusions or extending the time series across this break.Provisional experimental publication of NHS vacancy statistics created from administrative data related to published vacancy adverts obtained from NHS Jobs, the main recruitment website for the NHS. The statistics referred to in these tables are exploratory and provide information on the administrative data available from NHS Jobs as much as on the recruitment of staff. This publication provides figures which are an insight to recruitment in the NHS but which should be treated with caution, and users are discouraged from attempting to draw any conclusions from this data at this time. Due to a change in methodology (moving from a count of vacancy adverts to advertised vacancy full-time equivalents) these figures are not directly comparable to to each other, therefore this data should not be used to extend that time series. For further details on the change in methodology please refer to the 'Points to note' section of the publication report.
