Our recruitment process

Search our open vacancies, find a suitable role and complete your online application.

The recruitment team will confirm receipt of your application.

We will review your application against the selection criteria and notify you of any next steps. Smith+Nephew will respond with a decision on all applications. 

If you meet the criteria and we shortlist you for the role you have applied for, you will be invited to an interview or an assessment. 

We will talk you through the next steps which may entail: 

• a phone interview, face to face interview or video interview
• an online skills-based assessment or text message assessment

We want to meet you at your best, and in line with our commitments to inclusion and diversity, we will make adjustments or provide accommodation for interviews as needed. 

Depending on the role you have applied for, you will be invited to additional interview(s) or assessment(s). 

Once you have successfully completed the Smith+Nephew recruitment and selection process, our talent acquisition team will contact you to extend an offer of employment.

Following your acceptance of the offer, our HR Services team and your new manager will assist you with the on-boarding process. 

The on-boarding process typically includes the completion of a background check, the completion of relevant forms, and communication with the details of your first day. 

We value each and every relationship we forge during the interview process. If you were not selected for a position this time, we encourage you to keep in touch with us!
