The Bottom Line
- TRAC powers recruitment for a large proportion of UK public sector roles—many Trust adverts route you there.
- Create one account and treat it like your ‘employment checks’ hub: applications, progress tracking, and onboarding steps.
- Keep your employment history and documents ready—TRAC forms punish last-minute scrambling.
If you click an NHS advert and end up on apps.trac.jobs, that’s normal. TRAC is widely used to run applications and track progress (including pre-employment checks). Your objective is the same: reduce friction and standardise your workflow.
Fast setup workflow
1
Step 1 — Register once
Create your TRAC account and store login details securely. Use a consistent email address across UK job platforms.
2
Step 2 — Standardise your core documents
Keep one ‘UK Job Pack’ folder: CV PDF, qualification scans, proof of ID/right to work (when needed), immunisation/DBS status (where applicable), and referee details.
3
Step 3 — Treat applications as an evidence-mapping exercise
Write your supporting information against the person specification. Reuse a master draft, then tailor examples to the Trust/service and role.
