Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): If you choose to use AI or other tools to assist in writing your application, it is essential to personalise this information, particularly your supporting information section. While AI can help streamline the writing process, these tools cannot fully grasp the context or requirements of the job you are applying for. There is also a risk that it can generate false or misleading information. AI‑generated job applications can often be generic, impersonal and may not accurately reflect your qualifications, knowledge, skills, and experiences. 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 information is not advocated by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and could negatively impact your chances of success in the application process. We monitor applications for any behaviour that could create an unfair advantage, and we check all references carefully. You are likely to be tested on your experience at interview, so be honest and make sure all the information in your application is correct. Please note that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is prohibited during the interview process.
