Check Your NHS Supporting Statement Against the Person Specification
Link each vacancy criterion to exact words in your own supporting information. You choose the status, record the gaps, then copy or print the checklist. No automatic score and no signup.
Start the guided checkWhat this result means
- A traceable list of criteria, exact excerpts and your notes.
- A review aid, not a qualification check or shortlist prediction.
- Working inputs kept in page memory for this visit.
The person specification sets the test
NHS Jobs advises candidates to read the person specification and use clear examples that show relevant skills and experience in the supporting information. Follow the format and limit on the vacancy you are applying for.
This checker does not assume a universal word limit. Add one only when your advert provides it.
Official sources checked
Sources checked 5 September 2026. The vacancy's own instructions take priority.
Match criteria to the exact evidence you wrote
Your draft and checklist stay in page memory for this visit. They are not added to the URL, saved to an account or sent to an AI service. Copy or print what you need, then use Clear review before leaving a shared device.
Four labels, no invented score
Each label records an observable link or your own review decision. It does not claim that the NHS employer will agree.
| Status | What it records |
|---|---|
| Evidence linked | A literal excerpt from your draft is linked. You still review its relevance and detail. |
| Needs detail | Your review says the example needs more context, action, evidence or outcome. |
| Not addressed | You have not yet written evidence for this criterion. |
| Needs review | You still need to decide, or a draft edit invalidated the linked excerpt. |
Keep the evidence yours
Use real examples from your work, study or volunteering. Do not invent qualifications, responsibilities, outcomes or patient impact. An exact excerpt link only shows where words appear.
Current-visit privacy boundary
The checker runs in your browser. Its working inputs are held in page memory, masked from session recording and excluded from URLs, browser storage and content-bearing analytics events. Copy or print what you need, then use Clear review before leaving a shared device.
Remove patient-identifying and confidential information before pasting text into any online service.
NHS supporting-information questions
- Does this checker write my NHS supporting statement?
- No. It helps you review your own draft against the vacancy criteria by linking exact excerpts. It does not generate, rewrite or score your text.
- Does Evidence linked mean I meet the criterion?
- No. It means only that a literal excerpt from your draft is linked to that item. You decide whether the evidence is relevant, specific and complete.
- What happens when I edit the draft?
- All linked excerpts become stale and move to Needs review. This prevents an old source position from pointing to different words after an edit.
- Is there one NHS supporting-statement word limit?
- No universal limit is assumed here. Enter a limit only when the vacancy gives one, and follow the advert's instructions.
- Is my draft saved to my ApplyArc account?
- No. This version keeps the working inputs in page memory for the current visit. The application tracker opens separately and does not receive the statement or checklist.
