We have a number of permanent posts available across the Trust which we plan to fill using this waiting list. We are holding a recruitment day on Saturday 4th July, in Windsor Day Centre , Newry. Interviews will be held on this day, you will have the opportunity to speak with members of the staff team, prior to your interview, about the job roles available and view one of the Day Centres. Please note: At the time of advertising, the starting salary for this role does not meet the minimum requirements set by the Home Office to sponsor candidates. For this reason, unfortunately we are unable to offer skilled worker sponsorship. A waiting list will be compiled for any similar posts that arise over the next 12 months. If you are submitting a manual application, please post it to: Recruitment Shared Services, Rosewood Villa, Longstone Hospital Site, 73 Loughgall Road, Armagh, BT61 7PR. Applications received after the advertised closing date/time cannot be considered, so please allow enough time for postage. “A waiting list may be created for similar posts that may arise while the waiting list is live, this may include temporary or part-time posts. This will be managed in line with the updated HSC waiting list principles effective from 1 April 2026”. Where a part-time waiting list is required, one part-time waiting list will be created- regardless of any specific hours advertised, this waiting list will cover all future vacancies where part-time posts arise. A part-time post is defined as any post that has less than 37.5 hours per week.” Please remember to save or print a copy of the job description before submitting your application, as it will not be accessible afterwards.
