Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when writing job applications. If you choose to use AI or other tools to assist in writing your application, it\'s essential to personalise this information, particularly your supporting statement. While AI can help streamline the writing process, these tools cannot fully grasp the context or requirements of the job you\'re applying for, nor can they accurately reflect your skills, knowledge, and experience. It is crucial that you personalise your supporting statement by articulating these in your unique voice. Relying solely on AI to write your application or supporting statement is not advocated by SHPU and could negatively impact your chances of success in the application process.

For example, AI responses…

• usually lack relevance and fail to address the key criteria outlined in the job description and person specification.
• may come across as generic and fail to distinguish you from other applicants.
• may be ambiguous or open to misinterpretation. Without careful review and editing, the supporting statement could convey messages that are unclear or misconstrued by hiring managers.
• may include qualifications, skills, knowledge or experience that you do not possess, potentially leading to misrepresentation.

Supporting Statement The supporting statement is an opportunity for you to showcase how your qualifications, knowledge, skill and experiences align with the requirements and criteria outlined in the job description and person. Recruiting managers score applications based on the criteria listed in the person specification. Managers will be looking for evidence of how you meet these criteria. To increase your chances of securing an interview, provide examples of how you have applied your skills and knowledge in real-life situations. Share work-related successes and challenges you\'ve navigated that align with the criteria. These could be from various aspects of your life, including work, education, and personal experiences. Consider structuring your statement with clear headings or bullet points. This approach will help both you and the recruiting manager navigate through your application more effectively.

You will need to possess excellent communication skills and be able to work independently and as part of the wider team in order to assess, plan and evaluate care. You should have a positive approach to meeting the needs of our service users and be motivated, empowered and enthusiastic to both learn and share. You will also likely to be expected to work as part of the duty system which operates within the general working hours of 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday on a rotational basis. This \'mini team\' is supported by other clinical professional and management.
