Working at MFT

If you decide that MFT is a place you’d like to develop your career, now is your chance to make your opportunity! You’ll give us the preference of site you’d like to work on, if you’re looking for a part time or full-time role and what relevant experience you have.

Designed to take roughly 15 minutes to complete, this is your opportunity to tell us about yourself and express your interest in joining MFT!

If your ‘fast track’ application shows us your skills and experience suit a Booking and Scheduling Coordinator role, you’ll be invited to attend a telephone interview with one of our clinical teams. If your application doesn’t meet our initial criteria, we’ll let you know via email.

We’ll contact you via the email address you provide to us with your outcome, so please check your spam / junk folders as sometimes emails can get stuck in there.

NB. Please don’t be put off if you’re not shortlisted this time around, there’s always lots of other opportunities to join us at MFT – simply click here to check out our wide range of alternative jobs.

You’ll be contacted so we can arrange a telephone interview with you on a particular date, and at a particular time. It is likely these will take place in early March.

The telephone interview will typically last between 15 to 30 minutes and the aim will be to establish some basic information about you to ensure you meet the right to work in the UK, along with any other legal requirements to work with us. We’ll also explore your experience in some detail, and we will ask you some scenario-based questions based on our Trust’s values and behaviours, to determine you have the right approach and attitude to mirror our organisational culture.

Our values are:

• We are compassionate
• We are curious
• We are collaborative
• We are open and honest
• We are inclusive

It is likely questions will ask you to consider examples of times when you have demonstrated some or all of these values, so a good tip is making sure you’ve prepared some solid examples of how you can evidence ways you have displayed these.

If you’re successful at this stage, you’ll be informed as soon as we can, and you’ll then be progressed to meet our clinical team, on a follow up day which will be a more formal face-to-face interview.

We’ll email you again to arrange a face-to-face interview. We’ll be running interviews around mid-March and you’ll be provided with all the details nearer the time.

Our team will ask you questions about your skills, experience, and values. The best answers to these questions involve specific examples. So, look at the Job Description and Person Specification and note down all the examples you can think of that you can draw from in your personal experience that match what the role is looking for.  This will really help those interviewing you assess your suitability for this job.

Should you be successful at interview, we’ll make you a conditional job offer. We’ll also send you guidance on the next steps, around start dates or when we expect a role in the area you want to work to become available.

Again, this will come by email, so keep an eye on your inbox. This email will go through all the details of your new role and give you a heads-up on what happens next in the process.

Nothing matters more to us than the safety of our patients and team members. That’s why as part of any offer of employment, you’ll be asked to complete a series of Pre-Employment checks.  Clear guidance about each of the checks you’ll need to undergo and what documents you’ll need to help us clear you quickly will be provided with your Conditional Offer email.

This is where your conditional offer becomes an unconditional offer. Or, in other words, you’re ready to join the MFT team! Once we’ve completed our checks and you’ve passed the different screening points, we’ll arrange your start date and tell you what happens next.
