In-service posts
You may only apply for an in-service post if you are already employed by the NHS in the scientific specialty you are applying for. You will remain employed by your current employer throughout the programme. You should be employed at a minimum, as an Agenda for Change Band 7 Clinical Scientist for the duration of the programme. You will only be eligible to apply if you are nominated by your employer, and your employer has an allocated training post in place.
Direct entry posts
Direct entry posts are new posts created within accredited training departments specifically for the purpose of training. A direct entry post is open to anyone who matches the entry criteria and person specification.
