Post availability and allocation (7)

How does a post become available?

Who should I contact to find out about available posts?

Can I find out which vacancies are available in my preferred region prior to submitting an application?

Will there be a vacancy for me if I’m eligible?

If there are more applicants than posts, how will the successful applicants be selected?

I put a specific location/trust on my application form but I have been offered a post somewhere else – why was I not given the trust I wanted and put on my application form?

I was eligible for a post but was told there were no vacancies, however, I contacted the local training region and they told me they had gaps on their programme – why was I not given this vacancy?
