How long will the form take to complete?
The form usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Can I complete this form on my mobile?
Yes, but we recommend using a desktop screen rather than a mobile device to complete the form. Most applicants find the desktop version easier to complete.
Do I need to fill out the entire form in one go?
No. If you need to complete the form in more than one go, just click Save at the bottom of the screen.
- When you click Save, you will see a pop-up which says Sign up to save submission as a draft.
- At the bottom of the box, there is a link Skip Create an Account; click it and enter your email address.
- You will then be emailed a link so you can resume your application at any time.
Please note that every required field must be completed before you can progress to the next page or save.
What if I have a problem while completing the application?
If you face any problems with the application form or you have any questions, email the Recruitment team at chsrecruit@chs.gov.scot
What happens next?
