Written question WQ92581

There is no difference between choosing country and region within Wales in the Oriel system, and the process used in England and Scotland. Unless of course a candidate applies to a local vacancy that only recruits for one country.

The majority of National Recruitment processes recruit for all four nations. In this process a candidate will apply to a vacancy and preference posts in any country or region. There are a few exceptions where at the application stage candidates apply to a cohort, normally grouped as ‘England and Wales’, ‘Scotland’ or ‘Northern Ireland’. Where a candidate applies to a local vacancy this will be limited to the country and regions within that vacancy.
