Welcome to the NSW Health Junior Medical Officer or ‘JMO’ Career Portal.
In this short video, we will show you:
On the JMO Career Portal, you will see the roles that have been advertised as part of the annual campaign.
If you currently work for NSW Health, it is important that you login using your StaffLink ID and password before commencing your search.
This will ensure that you will:
You can search for jobs using keywords and/or locations. To narrow the search via specialty, click ‘Search Jobs’ then in the Category field, type in the specialty and click ‘Add’.
To find out more about the role, click on the role title. Then you can review the job advertisement and Position Description.
Now let’s take a look at how you apply for a role.
To begin your application, click on ‘Apply for Job’. You will be presented with a Privacy Agreement. Click ‘I Accept’.
If you already work for NSW Health, you should have already logged in with your StaffLink ID and password as advised earlier. If so, you will be logged in with your internal candidate profile and some fields will be pre-populated for you.
If you have previously applied for a job with NSW Health, use your login details to sign in. It is very important not to create multiple profiles.
If you have never created a profile before and do not currently work for NSW Health, click ‘New User’ and create a new profile.
In the application page the progress bar at the top gives you an indication of the pages you will be required to complete as part of your application.
The first page will prompt you to complete some personal details including qualifications and registrations.
All fields with a red asterisk are mandatory however, all fields should be completed if they are relevant to you.
If you are a current employee, many fields will be pre-filled and greyed out. If you need to update these details, you can follow the instructions on the page.
You will then be prompted to complete your Application Responses. You will be timed out after 60 minutes in the application if you have not clicked ‘Save and Continue’ or ‘Save as Draft’.
Click ‘Save as Draft’ regularly to ensure your responses are saved as you go or you can prepare your responses in a Word document, then copy and paste them here.
‘File Attachments’ is where you upload documents to support your application, such as your resume or copy of your MBBS.
You can see other documents you have used to support other applications too.
Upload your resume and identify that this is your resume by selecting the checkbox.
The ‘Relevant for this submission’ checkbox should be ticked for any resumes or supporting documents you want to be viewable for this particular application.
It is important you do not delete attachments as doing so deletes attachments from all your current submissions.
The ‘Additional Tasks’ page will appear for all applicants.
Click on the link.
Ensure that popups are enabled on your browser. Some browsers may block the new window from opening.
Most applications indicate there are no preferences to complete.
Some roles require you to nominate your location or training network preferences.
If you are applying for a role requiring preferencing, instructions and preferences will appear.
Follow the instructions to order or re-order your preferences, with your first preference being at the top of the list.
Click ‘SUBMIT’ and you will receive a popup notice to say: ‘Thank you. Your preferences have been received’.
You can now close the window.
Re-submit your preferences each time you apply for a role in a Preference Match Group.
If you have entered preferences look out for an additional tasks email in your inbox once you complete your application.
This email will allow you to go back to the preferences page and reorder your preferences anytime up until the close date.
‘Application Acknowledgement’ is where you are asked to read and confirm that the information provided in your application is accurate.
Add your Last Name in the box to acknowledge the above statements.
Finally, you must review and press ‘Submit’. You must press ‘Submit’ for your application to be completed and submitted.
You will then receive an email, confirming that your application is completed and has been submitted.
You can edit your job submission as many times as you like until applications close.
If you are invited to interview, you will be required to complete pre-employment checks.
You must complete this before your interview.
You will need to complete this process for each role you interview for.
Good news, for subsequent interviews, a lot of the information will prefill based on the information you entered the first time.
When these are ready for you to complete, you will receive an email with a link to the checks.
Alternatively, you can log directly into the Career Portal, and select the ‘Tasks’ tab. This will show you any outstanding tasks you need to complete, such as these pre-employment checks.
