In this section you will be asked to list all medical employment from your current or most recent employment history detailing back to qualification from medical school.
Please use this data entry section to add/update your employment history and ensure you use the action buttons (‘Add ‘, ’Edit’, ‘Cancel ‘ etc) to submit information against your record.
If you completed clinical training equivalent to Foundation Year 1 before graduation from medical school, you must include this in your employment history.
If you do not have any employment history and have no employment gaps you can tick the box to confirm you have no employment history.
Information to include in your employment history record
Please list all medical/dental employment from current/most recent employment history detailing back to graduation from medical/dental school. For rotational posts in Core Training programmes, please list each component post separately. Please also list posts that you are due to undertake but have not yet started, that is, future posts.
If you are currently in employment and do not have an “end date” please put the end date as being the day before the commencement date for the post for which you are applying (as per the Applicant Guide). If you leave your current post before this date you must send details to your allocated Foundation School.
Non-urgent advice: Important Note: Employment gaps
Oriel will calculate employment gaps automatically if jobs are not listed consecutively for the last three years. Oriel will generate a flag for any gap. If you graduated less than 3 years ago (and have not been in employment yet) you should explain the employment gap by using one of the available drop down options.
Further information regarding employment gaps
The system will autogenerate any gaps in employment of longer than four weeks within three years preceding the advertised post commencing from date. Please note the following would be considered an employment gap:
• any expected or planned career gap between submission of the application form and the post commencing from date of the advertised post
• any potential gaps between the end date of your last planned post and the advertised post commencing from date where you do not currently know what your employment status will be – you should provide information about your intentions for this period
• any periods of short-term, ad hoc or locum work greater than four weeks; where this is the case, please summarise the nature and amount of full time equivalent experience gained across any posts undertaken during this period
• any gaps where you have stepped out of programme with the expectation of returning such as to undertake research in a formal post or to take a career break
• periods of leave such as maternity leave or career breaks
• where you have less than 3 years employment history
If you have less than 3 years employment history, you must note the dates and explanation of what you were doing before your first employment post as a gap (for example Undergraduate Education).
