🎯 Who uses it and what they get

Every row links back to the public NHS Jobs advert, so a recruiter, planner or job seeker can check the context before acting.

• I run a staffing agency and need bank and locum shifts. Pick the Bank and Locum contract types, add a place and distance, and schedule a daily run that returns only new vacancies.
• I recruit internationally and need employers that welcome visa applicants. Turn on the visa sponsorship filter to keep adverts that state Skilled Worker sponsorship is welcome, with the exact wording and the UK registration note.
• I am an NHS recruiter or workforce planner. Compare pay bands, salaries and working patterns across trusts, and watch competitor hiring in your area.
• I am a healthcare job seeker. Filter by Band 5 or Band 6, part time or job share, and a salary floor. Use closing within days for last-chance alerts.
• I am a researcher or analyst. Export clean, dated rows with salary figures, postcode, employer code and days until closing for hiring trend work.

🔔 Monitor new vacancies

Choose New vacancies only as the output mode, give the watchlist a state name, and run it on an Apify schedule. The first run returns up to your maximum. Every later run returns only vacancies it has not delivered before, newest first. Use a different state name for each search or client.

Changes only and All rows with status also report updated, returning and closed vacancies. A vacancy is only marked closed after two complete checks, and closures are not reported when relative date, title or per-employer filters are in use, because those searches are not complete.

💰 Pricing

You pay per vacancy returned. A run that finds nothing costs nothing for results, and there are no subscriptions. The full advert details option may carry its own per-advert item, so check the Pricing tab before running large jobs with details on.

❓ FAQ

Can I find NHS jobs that offer visa sponsorship?

Yes. Set the visa sponsorship filter to only adverts welcoming Skilled Worker sponsorship. The Actor reads each advert and keeps those with a Certificate of Sponsorship section. An advert without it has not said either way, so it is not proof that an employer cannot sponsor.

How do I get an alert for new Band 6 nurse jobs near me?

Set keyword nurse, a location with a distance, pay band Band 6, sort by newest, output mode New vacancies only, and a state name. Schedule the run daily and connect an Apify webhook or integration to your email or chat.

Can I filter by bank and locum shifts?

Yes. Pick Bank and Locum under contract types. Add a place and distance to build a regional shift feed for a staffing agency.

Does it include the contact person on the advert?

Only if you turn on both full advert details and the contact person option. It returns the name, job title, email and phone the employer chose to publish. Handle those details under data protection rules and use them only for the job enquiry.

How many vacancies can I collect?

Up to 20,000 per run. NHS Jobs lists about twelve thousand live vacancies at a time. Free Apify plans return up to 25 vacancies per run, three runs a day.

🛡️ Use public information responsibly

Respect the source's terms, minimise how long you keep personal contact details, and do not use the data to make sensitive decisions about individuals.
